Safety precautions
Gigaset E36 / Schweiz-PTT / English for Internet / security.fm / 30.08.2006
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Safety precautions
Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents to your children as well as the potential hazards associated with using the tel-
ephone.
Only fit the recommended rechargeable batteries of the same type (page 16)
! In other words, do not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries
as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Fit rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity and use them according to
this user guide (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compart-
ment, page 4).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, for example doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the reverse side of the handset to your ear if the handset is ringing
or if the handsfree function is switched on. Otherwise, you risk developing seri-
ous, permanent hearing damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset
is not splash proof (page 14).
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, for
example auto paint shops.
If you give your Aton CL103 to someone else, make sure you also give them the
user guide.
Information about disposal
At the end of its service life this product must not be disposed of among the
normal household refuse. Instead, it must be handed in at a sales outlet or at a
collection point for recycling electrical and electronic devices in accordance with
regulations governing the return, taking back and disposal of electrical and elec-
tronic devices (ORDEA).
The materials can be recycled as indicated. By recycling materials and reusing or
utilising old appliances in any other way you are making an important contribu-
tion to the protection of the environment.
Note:
uNot all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
uCLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation), SMS (Short Message Services) and
"Swisscom Voice Portal": these functions depend on the network provider.

Aton CL103 – more than just a telephone
Gigaset E36 / Schweiz-PTT / English for Internet / starting.fm / 30.08.2006
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Aton CL103 –
more than just a telephone
Your phone not only enables you to store
up to 100 telephone numbers (page 9) – it
can do a whole lot more:
uYou can programme the direct dialling
keys of your phone with important
phone numbers. The number is then
dialled by simply pressing a key
(page 10).
uUse the handsfree function (page 7) to
keep your hands free when making a
call.
uUse your handset as an alarm clock
(page 13).
A special SOS procedure is available to you
when your handset is registered on an
Aton CL103 base station; for details see
the user guide for your CL103 base sta-
tion.
Have fun using your new telephone!
First steps
Pack contents
The packaging contains an Aton CL103
handset, two batteries, a battery cover, a
belt clip, a user guide and a headset.
The Aton CL103 charging station is a sep-
arate product.
Setting up the handset for use
Please refer to the end of this user guide
for information on connecting and, if
appropriate, wall-mounting the charging
cradle.
Fitting the batteries and closing
the cover
¤Fit the batteries with the correct polar-
ity (see diagram).
The polarity is indicated in the battery
compartment.
¤First align the notches on the side of
the battery cover with the protrusions
on the inside of the casing.
¤Then press down the cover so that it
clicks into place.
Attaching the belt clip
There are notches for attaching the belt
clip on the side of the handset at the same
height as the display.
¤Press the belt clip onto the back of the
handset so that the protrusions on the
belt clip engage with the notches.
Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recom-
mended on page 16. In other words, never use
a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or
other battery types as this could result in sig-
nificant health risks and personal injury. For
example, the outer casing of the batteries or
accumulators could be destroyed or the batter-
ies could explode. The phone could also mal-
function or be damaged as a result of using
batteries that are not of the recommended
type.

First steps
Gigaset E36 / Schweiz-PTT / English for Internet / starting.fm / 30.08.2006
Version 4, 16.09.2005
You can also attach a cord for carrying the
handset in your hand or wearing it around
your neck.
Opening the battery cover
¤If fitted, remove the belt clip.
¤Reach into the housing cavity and pull
the battery cover upwards.
Registering
You have to register your Aton CL103 on a
base station before you can use it. It can
be registered on up to four base stations.
The registration process depends on the
particular base station.
Automatically registering the handset on
the Aton CL103 base station
Requirement: the handset must not
already be registered on any base station.
Registering the handset on the Aton
CL103 base station occurs automatically.
¤Place the handset in the charging cra-
dle of the base station with its display
facing forward.
You will hear a confirmation tone.
Automatic registration can take up to
5 minutes. While registration is in
progress the screen displays Registering.
The handset is assigned the lowest unas-
signed internal number (1–4). If several
handsets are registered on the base, the
internal number is shown in the display
after registration, for example 2. This
means that the handset has been
assigned the internal number 2.
Manually registering the handset on
the Aton CL103 base station
You must activate manual registration of
the handset on both the handset and the
base station.
After it has registered, the handset returns
to idle status. If several handsets are regis-
tered on the base, the internal number is
shown in the display after registration, for
example 2.
The registration process is cancelled after
60 seconds. If the handset has not regis-
tered within this time, repeat the process.
Notes:
– Automatic registration is only possible if
the base station on which you wish to reg-
ister the handset is not being used to make
a call.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– If four handsets are already registered on a
base station there are two options:
– The handset with the internal number 4
is in idle status: the handset you wish to
register is assigned the number 4. The
handset that was previously number 4 is
de-registered.
– The handset with the internal number 4
is being used: the handset you wish to
register cannot be registered.
– If automatic registration does not work, the
handset will have to be registered manu-
ally.
