Safety precautions
W Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully before use. Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
$
Only use the mains unit supplied.
Only use the approved, rechargeable battery
pack, never a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack, as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the local waste disposal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your local authority or the dealer you purchased the product from.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or shower room. The handset and base station are not splashproof.

Fitting the battery pack
◆ Place the battery leads in the lead 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 could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, 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.
◆ Never use non-Gigaset battery chargers as this could damage the battery pack.
◆ Only place the handset in the charging cradle that is intended for it.
* Gigaset Communications GmbH is a trademark licensee of Siemens AG.
◆ Insert the plug into the socket as shown in the enlarged view.
◆ Insert the battery pack.
◆ Place the leads in the lead guides.

Registering the handset
You must initiate handset registration on the handset and on the base station.
Once it has been registered, the handset returns to idle status. If several handsets are registered to 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 registered), handset number four is deregistered 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 takes approx. 1 minute.
Please note:
You can also automatically register the Gigaset
AL14H handset to the Gigaset AL140/AL145 base station. Precondition: The handset is not registered to 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.
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 base station for approx. 7 hours. The battery 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 while its charge capacity will decrease for technical reasons.
You must set the date and time to ensure that the times of calls are logged correctly (see Menu tree

idle display looks as shown on page 1.
