Registering the handset to the
base station
Before you can use the phone, you must
first register the handset to the base sta-
tion. The actual registration procedure will
depend on the type of base station.
A Gigaset S18H handset can be registered
on up to four base stations.
Automatic registration: Gigaset S18H
handset to Gigaset S185 base station
Important: The handset must not yet be
registered to any base station.
Registering the handset to the
Gigaset S185 base station occurs auto-
matically.
¤Place the handset in the base with its
display facing outwards.
¤The handset registers automatically.
Please do NOT remove your handset
from the base station during the regis-
tration procedure.
The registration can take up to 5 minutes.
During this process, Regstr.Procedure
appears in the display and the name of the
base station flashes, for example Base 1.
When the handset has been registered, its
screen displays its internal number, for
example INT 2 for internal number 2.
The handset is assigned the lowest availa-
ble internal number (1-6). If all internal
numbers 1-6 have been assigned, number
6 is overwritten, assuming that the hand-
set with the internal number 6 is in idle
status.
Manual registration:
Gigaset S18H handset
You must activate manual registration of
the handset at both the handset and the
base station.
After it has been registered, the handset
returns to idle status. The internal number
of the handset appears in the display, for
example INT 1. If it does not, repeat the
procedure.
Note:
– 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.
