WRead this User Guide and the safety precautions
carefully before use. Explain their contents to your
children, and the potential hazards associated
with using the telephone.
Only use the mains unit supplied.
Fit only the approved rechargeable battery
pack! Never use a conventional (non-recharge-
able) battery pack as this could damage your
health and cause injury. Use the battery pack as
directed in this user guide (page 2).
The operation of medical appliances may be
affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
within the particular environment (e.g. doctor's
practice).
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear
when it is ringing or when the handsfree func-
tion is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and
permanent damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant hum-
ming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or
shower room. The handset is not splashproof.
$
Do not use the telephone in environments
subject to 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.
The correct disposal and separate collection of
your old appliance will help prevent 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 contact your city
office, waste disposal service or the shop where
you purchased the product.

Setting up the telephone for use
Setting up the handset for use
Fitting the battery pack

enlarged view.
◆Insert the battery pack.
◆Place the cords in the cord routing.
Closing the battery cover
Insert the cover into the top end of the battery
compartment and press down until it clicks into
place.

Registering the handset
A Gigaset C36H handset can be registered on up to
four base stations.
You must initiate handset registration on the hand-
set and on the base station.
After it has registered, the handset returns to idle
status. If several handsets are registered on the
base station, the internal number is shown in the
top left of the display after registration, e.g. 2.
If the internal numbers 1 to 4 have already been
assigned (four handsets have already been regis-
tered), handset number four is de-registered and
overwritten.
On the base station
To find out how to register the handset on the base
station, see the user guide for the base station.

Registration can take up to 5 minutes.
Charging the battery pack
Plug the mains unit for the charging cradle into the
socket and place the handset in the charging cradle
with the display facing forward.
To charge the battery pack, leave the handset in
the charging cradle for approx. 5 hours. The bat-
tery pack is now fully charged. The charge status of
the battery pack is only correctly displayed after
uninterrupted charging/discharging. Therefore you
should not interrupt the charging process.
Charging is electronically controlled to prevent
overcharging. The battery pack heats up during
charging. This is normal and not dangerous. After
a time its charge capacity will decrease for techni-
cal reasons.
You must set the date and time to ensure that the
times of calls are logged correctly (see Menu tree
page 6).
Note:
The display is protected by a plastic film.
Please remove the protective film!
◆Place the battery leads in the cable guides so
that the battery cover cannot catch on the leads
and damage them when it is closed.
◆Use only the rechargeable battery pack
recommended by Gigaset Communications
GmbH * (page 5), i.e. never use a conventional
(non-rechargeable) battery pack as this may
cause significant damage to health and property.
For example, the outer casing of the battery pack
could be destroyed or the battery pack could
explode. The phone could also malfunction or be
damaged as a result of using batteries that are not
of the recommended type.
◆Only use the battery charger supplied.
◆Only place the handset in the charging cradle
that is intended for it.

cally too. Precondition: The handset is not regis-
tered on a base station. Place the handset in the
charging cradle of the base station with its dis-
play facing forward. You will hear a confirmation
tone. Leave the handset in the base station until it
is registered.
