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.

Setting up the base and charging cradle (if included)

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.

¤ Connect the flat plug from the

power adapter 1.

To disconnect the plug from the charger, press the release button 3 and disconnect the plug 4.

Connecting the charging cradle (if included)

First steps

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.

If you have any questions about using your phone, please read the tips on troubleshooting (¢ page 55) or contact our Customer Care team (¢ page 52).

You are shown the duration of the call while the call is in progress.

Please note

Dialling with the directory (¢ page 30), calls list (¢ page 33) and redial list (¢ page 32) saves you from repeatedly keying in phone numbers.

Ending a call

You can accept the call as long as it is displayed on the screen.

Caller ID (CID)

When you receive a call, the caller's number and/or name is displayed on the screen if the following prerequisites are met:

u Your network provider supports Caller ID.

– CID number only: The caller's number

is displayed.

– CID name and number: The caller's

name is displayed.

u You have requested Caller ID from your

network provider.

u The caller has requested Caller ID from

the network provider.

Display with CID name and number

If you have CID name and number, then the name (town/city) that is registered with your network provider for the caller's number will also be displayed. If the number of the caller is stored in your directory, the CID name and number display is replaced by the corresponding directory entry.

1Caller's number 2 Name and location

The display shows:

u External Call, if no number is transmitted. u Withheld, if the caller has withheld

u Unavailable, if the caller has not

Please note

The ringer can be switched off for unknown calls (calls with Caller ID withheld) (¢ page 46).

Notes on phone number display (Caller ID)

By default, the number of the caller is shown in the display of your Gigaset telephone. You do not have to make any other settings on your Gigaset telephone.

However, if the caller's number is not displayed, this can be due to the following:

u You have not ordered Caller ID from your

network provider

u Your telephone is connected via a PABX

or a router with an integrated PABX (gate-

way) that does not transmit all informa-

tion.

Is your telephone connected via a PABX/gateway?

You can establish this by checking for an additional device connected between your telephone and home connection, e.g., a PABX, gateway etc. In most cases, simply resetting this device will remedy the situation:

¤ Briefly disconnect the PABX power plug.

Re-insert the plug and wait for the device

to restart.

If the caller number is still not displayed:

¤ Check the phone number display set-

tings of your PABX and activate this func-

tion if necessary. In the user manual for

the device, search for the term "CID" (or

an alternative term such as "calling line

identification", "phone number transmis-

sion", "caller ID" etc.). If necessary, contact

the device manufacturer.

If this does not resolve the problem, it is possible that your network provider does not provide the Caller ID service for this number.

Making calls

Have you requested the phone number display service from your network provider?

¤ Check whether your provider supports

phone number display and that the function has been activated for you. If necessary, contact your provider.

Additional information on this subject can be found on the Gigaset website at: www.gigaset.com/service

Handsfree operation

In handsfree mode, you activate the loudspeaker so that you can hear the caller without having to hold the handset to your ear. You therefore have both hands free and other people can listen in on the conversation.

Please note

Inform your caller before you use the handsfree function so that the caller knows a third party may be listening.

Activating/deactivating handsfree mode

During a call and when listening to the answering machine (Gigaset A510A only), activate or deactivate handsfree mode.

d Press the handsfree key.

Each key press switches between earpiece and handsfree mode. If handsfree mode is activated, the key is lit up.

If you wish to place the handset in the charger during a call:

¤ Press and hold handsfree key d while

placing the handset in the base/charger and for a further 2 seconds.

For instructions on adjusting the handsfree volume, see page 44.

Switching to mute

You can deactivate your handset's microphone during a call.

v Press right on the control key to

mute the handset. The display shows Microphone is turned off. Press the key again to unmute the microphone.

Using the directory and lists
