4.2 Call Management
- Two simultaneous conversations: The Gigaset Box 100 supports one external call and one internal call concurrently.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Gigaset Box 100, try the following solutions:
- No dial tone: Check all cable connections (power adapter, telephone cable) to ensure they are securely plugged in. Verify that your analog telephone line is active.
- Handset not registering: Ensure the handset is a compatible Gigaset HX model. Repeat the registration process as described in Section 3.2. Make sure the base station is not already at its maximum capacity of 6 registered handsets.
- Poor range or interference: Relocate the base station to a more central position, away from other electronic devices (Wi-Fi routers, microwaves) or large metal objects.
- No power: Check the power adapter connection and the wall outlet. Try plugging another device into the same outlet to confirm it is working.
