How do you change the PIN code of a Gigaset phone?
For certain actions on your Gigaset, you'll be asked for a PIN code. Think of pairing an extra handset or listening to the answering machine remotely. Here, you'll read how to set and change this PIN code.
Changing the PIN code
When you start using your Gigaset, the device will already have a PIN code. By default, this is set to 0000. This is how you can change the PIN code:
- Open the main menu.
- Go to Settings. This is the gearwheel icon.
- Select System.
- Now, select System PIN.
- Then, enter the old PIN code. If the PIN code hasn't been changed, it's 0000.
- Confirm your choice with OK.
- Enter a new PIN code. The PIN code should be between 4 and 9 digits.
- Save your choice.
Reset PIN code
You might have forgotten the PIN code. If you want to reset the PIN code to the default 0000, do as follows:
- Unplug the power cord from the base station.
- Press and hold the login/paging button on the base station. This is the button that looks like a WiFi logo.
- Plug the power cord back into the base station while still pressing the button.
- Don't let go of the login/paging button just yet, hold it for at least 5 more seconds.
Note: if you reset the PIN code, all the settings of the base station are also reset and all paired handsets will be unpaired.
