Gigaset A510/A510A – your high-quality accessory
Congratulations on your purchase of this latest generation Gigaset. Your Gigaset can do a lot more than just make calls:
Directory for 150 entries
Save phone numbers and names to the directory (¢ page 30). You can designate important entries as VIPs (Very Important Persons). VIP calls are then recognised by their ringtone and their background colour (¢ page 31).
If you don't (always) want it to ring
Use time control for calls (¢ page 45) or ensure that all calls from a withheld number are not signalled (¢ page 46).
Other practical information
Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢ page 31), use the shortcut func­tion (¢ page 31) and adjust the background colour and contrast of the display to your requirements (¢ page 44).

Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user manual before use. Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on page 57, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury. Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base station while the headset is connected.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment, e.g., doctor's surgery. If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufac­turer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high frequency energy. Please refer to the "Appendix" chapter for the specifications of this Gigaset product.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market. However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.
The handset may cause interference in analogue hearing aids. If you require assist­ance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and charger are not splashproof (¢ page 57).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).
If you give your phone to a third party, make sure you also give them the user manual.
Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
u Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries. u The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to trans-
mit emergency calls.

Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside build­ings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (¢ page 41).
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
u Never expose the telephone to the effects of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.

Inserting the battery and closing the battery cover

Use only rechargeable batteries (¢ page 57) recommended by Gigaset Com­munications GmbH, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries could be destroyed or the batteries could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of the recommended type.

Initial charging and discharging of the batteries

The correct charge status can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully charged and discharged.
¤ Charge the handset in the base for 6 hours.
Please note
The handset must only be placed in the designated Gigaset A510/A510A base or charger.
¤ After charging, remove the handset from the base and only replace it when the
batteries are fully discharged.
Please note
u The handset is pre-registered with the base. If you have purchased a model
with multiple handsets, all handsets will already be registered with the
base. You do not need to register the handset again. However, if a handset is not registered with the base (Register handset or Place handset in base flashes on the display), please register the handset manually ¢ page 42.
u After the first battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in
the charger after every call.
u Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and reinsert them.
u The batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous. u After a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical
reasons.
