Safety precautions
Gigaset E45 / IM1-eng / A31008-M1751-R101-3-6Z19 / start_guide_time.fm / 10.11.2008
Safety precautions
Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use. Explain their contents to your children,
and the potential hazards associated with using the phone.
Use only the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the charg-
ing cradle.
Fit only the recommended rechargeable battery pack (page 19)! I.e. do not
use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in
significant health risks and personal injury.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment (e.g. doctor's surgery).
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charging
cradle is not watertight (page 18).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g. auto paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user
guide.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the
municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the
government or the local authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is cov-
ered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help pre-
vent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic
equipment.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please con-
tact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the

with many extras
Your Gigaset E45 not only lets you store up
to 150 telephone numbers (page 10) -
your Gigaset E45 can do much, much
more:
uYou can designate important people as
VIPs so you can tell important calls from
the "tone" (page 11).
uYou can store anniversaries (page 12)
in your phone and it will remind you of
them in advance.
uSelect frequently used phone numbers
at the press of a single key (page 11).
Have fun using your new Gigaset E45!
First Steps
Pack contents
uone Gigaset E45 handset,
uone charging cradle (incl. mains
adapter),
uone battery pack,
uone battery cover,
uone lock ring,
uone belt clip,
uone headset socket cover,
uone user guide.
Setting up the handset for use
Connecting up the charging cradle and

Caution:
Use only the rechargeable battery pack recom-
mended by Gigaset Communications GmbH *
(page 19). I.e. on no account may a conven-
tional (non-rechargeable) battery pack or

cause significant damage to health and prop-
erty e.g. the outer casing of the battery or bat-
tery pack could be destroyed or the battery
pack could explode. The phone could also mal-
function or be damaged as a result of using

First Steps
Gigaset E45 / IM1-eng / A31008-M1751-R101-3-6Z19 / start_guide_time.fm / 10.11.2008
Closing the battery cover
¤Hold the battery cover at a slight angle
and introduce the two lower lugs into
the casing first. Then close the cover so
that it clicks into place.
Locking the battery cover
Insert the catches on the lock ring or belt
clip into the notches in the casing and
make sure that the arrow markings on the
casing are aligned with those on the bot-
tom of the ring. Turn the lock ring or belt
clip clockwise to the end stop. When both
holes are horizontally aligned with the
upper edge of the handset the lock ring is
closed.
Opening the battery cover
Position both thumbs on the lock ring and
at the same time turn the lock ring or belt
clip anticlockwise and remove.
¤Insert a coin into the cavity at the top of
the battery cover and twist it until the
cover opens.
Registering your phone
Before you can use your Gigaset E45 you
must register it to a base station. It can be
registered to a maximum of four base sta-
tions. The actual registration procedure
will depend on the type of base station.
Automatic registration Gigaset E45 to
Gigaset E450
Important: The handset must not already
be registered to any base station.
Registering the handset to the Gigaset
E450 base station occurs automatically.
(On the E455 base station you register
your handset manually, see page 6.)
¤Place the handset in the base with its
display facing forward.
Registration takes around 1 minute. Dur-
ing this process, Regstr.Procedure appears
in the display and the name of the base
station flashes e.g. Base 1. When the
handset has registered, its screen displays
its internal number, e.g. INT 2 for internal
number 2. The handset is assigned the
lowest available internal number (1-6). If
all internal numbers 1-6 have been
assigned, number 6 is overwritten, pro-
vided the handset with the internal
number 6 is in idle status.

First Steps
Gigaset E45 / IM1-eng / A31008-M1751-R101-3-6Z19 / start_guide_time.fm / 10.11.2008
Manual registration of the Gigaset E45
If the handset does not activate automati-
cally when the battery pack is fitted, you
must first charge the battery pack.
You must activate manual registration of
the handset at both the handset and the
base station.
After it has registered, the handset returns
to idle status. The handset's internal
number is shown in the display e.g. INT 1.
If not, repeat the procedure.
1. On the handset
v¢Ð¢Handset ¢Register H/Set
sSelect base station, e.g. Base
1, and press §OK§.
~Enter the system PIN of the
base station (the default is
0000) and press §OK§. The
screen will display, e.g. Base 1.
2. On the base station
Within 60 secs. press and hold the regis-
tration/paging key on the base station
(page 1) (approx. 3 secs.).
Headset socket
You can connect the following types of
headset (with jack connector): HAMA
Plantronics M40, MX100 and MX150.
If you do not connect a headset, please
insert the cover supplied for the headset
socket to guarantee the unit is still splash
proof.
Charging the battery pack
¤Plug the mains adapter of the charging
cradle into a mains power socket.
¤Place the handset in the cradle with its
display facing forward.
To charge the battery pack, leave the
handset in the charging cradle. If the
handset is activated, the flashing battery
icon ein the top right of the display indi-
cates that the battery pack is being
charged. During handset operation, the
battery icon indicates the charge status of
the battery pack (page 1).
Initial charging and discharging of the
battery pack
The correct charge status can only be dis-
played if the battery pack is first fully
charged and discharged.
¤To do this, leave the handset in the
charging cradle continuously for ten
hours. Your handset need not be
switched on for it to charge.
¤Afterwards, remove the handset from
the charging cradle and do not put it
back again until the battery pack is fully
discharged.
Please remember:
uAlways repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
battery pack from the handset and
insert it again.
Notes:
– Automatic registration is not possible when
the base station on which you wish to reg-
ister the handset is being used to make a
call.
– Each key press interrupts the automatic
registration.
– If automatic registration does not work,
you will have to register the handset manu-
ally.
Notes:
– The handset should only be placed in a
base station or charging cradle that is
designed for it.
– When the handset is in the cradle, it
charges even if it is switched off.
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the battery pack is flat and it is
then placed in the cradle, it will switch itself
on automatically.
– After the first battery charge and discharge
you may replace your handset in the charg-
ing cradle after every call.

Making calls
Gigaset E45 / IM1-eng / A31008-M1751-R101-3-6Z19 / start_guide_time.fm / 10.11.2008
uThe battery pack may warm up as it is
charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a time the charge capacity of the
battery pack will decrease for technical
reasons.

c~ Press and hold the talk key
cand then enter the
number.

Answering a call
The handset indicates an incoming call in
three ways: by ringing, by a display on the
screen and by the flashing handsfree
key d.
You can accept the call by:
¤Pressing the talk key c.
¤Pressing the handsfree key d.
If the handset is in the charging cradle and
the Auto Answer function is activated
(page 15), the handset will take a call
automatically when you lift it out of the
cradle.
If the ringtone is intrusive, press the dis-
play key §Silence§. You can take the call so
long as it is displayed on the screen.
Handsfree operation
In handsfree mode instead of holding the
handset to your ear you can put it down
e.g. on the table in front of you to allow
others to participate in the call.
Notes:
– Dialling using the directory, call-by-call list
(page 1, page 10) or last number redial list
(page 12) saves time re-entering numbers
and network provider access codes ("call-
by-call numbers").

Using a handset as a room
monitor
If the room monitor is activated, a previ-
ously stored destination number is called
as soon as a set noise level is reached. You
can store an internal or external number
in your handset as the destination
number.
The room monitor call to an external
number stops after approx. 90 seconds.
The room monitor call to an internal
number (handset) stops after approx. 3
minutes (depending on the base station).
While the room monitor is activated, all
keys are locked except the end call key.
The handset's speaker is muted.
When the room monitor is activated,
incoming calls to the handset are indi-
cated without a ringtone and are only
shown on the screen. The display and key-
pad are not illuminated and advisory
tones are also turned off.
If you accept an incoming call, the room
monitor mode is suspended for the dura-
tion of the call, but the function remains
activated.
If you switch off the handset, the room
monitor mode is deactivated. You must
reactivate the function after switching on
the handset again.

battery pack does not run down.
– Ideally the handset should be positioned 1
to 2 metres away from the baby. The micro-
phone must be directed towards the baby.
– The connection to which the room monitor
is diverted must not be blocked by an acti-
vated answering machine.
