Your Gigaset is now ready for operation. Your an-
swering machine is set with a standard announce-
ment. Please set date and the time (see page 8), so
that the time of incoming calls can be noted correct-
ly.

batteries. Do not use Alkaline, Lithium or
non-rechargeable batteries.
• Never use non-Siemens charging units as
these could damage the batteries and

pleted, replace your handset into the base
station after each call. Charging is con-
trolled electronically. This ensures opti-
mum charging and prolongs battery life.
• The batteries heat up during charging. This
is normal and not dangerous.
• The battery charging status is correctly dis-
played only after uninterrupted charging/
discharging. You should therefore avoid
opening the battery compartment unnec-
essarily.
