Placing the handset into the base (registering) and charging the batteries
When you place the C 1 handset into the C 100/C 150, C 200/C 250 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 charger 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 =.

Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Siemens on
page 18! Never use conventional batteries (non-rechargeable) or other
battery types as this may cause significant damage to health and prop-
erty. For example, the jacket of the battery could be destroyed (hazard-
ous). The phone could also malfunction or be damaged.
