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).

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.

The base and charging cradle are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature
range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤ Set up the base at a central point in the building on a level, non-slip surface or
mount the base or charger on the wall ¢ page 63.
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.
Connecting the base
¤ First connect the telephone jack 1
and insert the cables into the cable
ducts.
¤ Then connect the power adapter 2.
First steps
Please note:
u The power adapter must always be
connected, as the phone will not
operate without a mains connection.
u Use only the power adapter and
phone cord supplied. Pin connections on telephone cables can vary
(pin connections ¢ page 58).
u The answering machine is ready for
use approx. 15 seconds after the
base has been connected or reset.

First steps
¤ Plug the power adapter into the
plug socket 2.

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.
