Placing the handset into the base (registering) and charging the batteries
When you place the C 2 handset into the C 200/C 250, C 100/C 150 or S 100/S 150 base,
it will register to the base automatically. Proceed step by step as follows:
1. Place the handset in the base with the display up.
2. Wait till the handset has registered automatically to the base: This operation takes
around one minute. While registration is in progress the screen displays
Registering and Base 1 flashes. The allocated internal number appears in the top
left of the display after registration.
3. Now leave the handset in the charging shell for the batteries to charge - the batteries
are supplied uncharged. Battery charging is indicated in the top right of the display
by the flashing battery icon
=.
The battery charging status is correctly displayed only after uninterrupted charging/
discharging. You should therefore avoid removing the batteries unnecessarily and
ending the charging process prematurely.
Manual registration
If automatic registration is interrupted or if you wish to use your C 2 handset at a
different Gigaset base (1000, 2000, 3000 or 4000 family), then you must register it
manually. You must initiate handset registration on the handset and on the base.

For the initial charge we recommend a continuous, uninterrupted
charging period of five hours, whatever charge status is indicated. After
a while the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical
reasons.

◆ Once initial charging is complete, you can replace your handset in the
charging shell after each call. Charging is controlled electronically.
This ensures that the batteries are charged in a way that maximises
their life.
◆ The batteries heat up during charging. This is normal and not
dangerous.
