Gigaset A510H – 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 24). You can designate important
entries as VIPs (Very Important Persons). VIP calls are then recognised by their ringtone and
their background colour (¢ page 24).

If you don't (always) want it to ring

Use time control for calls (¢ page 31) or ensure that all calls from a withheld number are not
signalled (¢ page 31).

Other practical information

Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢ page 25), use the shortcut func­tion (¢ page 25) and adjust the background colour and contrast of the display to your
requirements (¢ page 30).

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 40, 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 handsfree
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 charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charger is not splash­proof (¢ page 40).

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 charger is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C
to +45°C.

¤ Set up the charger on a level, non-slip surface or mount the charger on the wall

(¢ page 42).

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 29).

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.

comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided
with this product. It is designed to be connected
to a compatible modular jack that is also compli­ant. See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to a telephone
line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result
in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devices that may be connected to
a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact
the local telephone company. For products
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this prod­uct is part of the product identifier that has the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits repre­sented by ## are the REN without a decimal point
(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the
REN is separately shown on the label.

(SDoC) is available at this Internet address:

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company will notify you
advance, that temporary discontinuance of serv­ice may be required. But if advance notice isn’t
practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations or procedures
that could affect the operation of the equipment.
If this happens the telephone company will pro­vide advance notice in order for you to make nec­essary modifications to maintain uninterrupted
service. If you experience trouble with this tele­phone system, disconnect it from the network

until the problem has been corrected or until you
are sure that the equipment is not malfunction­ing.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for
repair or warranty information, please contact
Support at 1-866 247-8758. If the equipment is
causing harm to the telephone network, the tele­phone company may request that you disconnect
the equipment until the problem is resolved. This
equipment is of a type that is not intended to be
repaired by the Customer (user).

This telephone system may not be used on coin
service provided by the telephone company. Con­nection to party line service is subject to state tar­iffs. Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission or corporation com­mission for information. Privacy of communica­tions may not be ensured when using this phone.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this equipment does not disable
your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult
your telephone company or a qualified installer.

This telephone system equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received, including inter­ference that may cause undesired operation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a resi­dential installation. Some cordless telephones
operate at frequencies that may cause interfer­ence to nearby T V’s and VCR’s; to minimize or pre­vent such interference, the system base should
not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if
interference is experienced, moving the base far­ther away from theTV or VCR will often reduce or
eliminate the interference.

However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this tel­ephone system does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the system off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer­ence by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the base sta­tion and receiver.

3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a cir­cuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV
technician for help.

Notice for Direct Inward Dialing
("DID")

ALLOWING THIS EQUIPMENT TO BE OPERATED IN
SUCH A MANNER AS TO NOT PROVIDE FOR
PROPER ANSWER SUPERVISION IS A VIOLATION
OF PART 68 OF THE FCC‘S RULES.

Notice to Hearing Aid Wearers:

at least 8 inches between the base and persons to
be in compliance with FCC RF exposure guide­lines.

For body worn operation, the portable part (hand­set) has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines. Use with an accessory that contains
metal parts may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines.

Notice to telephone company service:
If you need service from your telephone company,
please provide them with the information
– Facility interface Code (FIC)

– Service Order Code (SOC)
– Universal Service Order Code (USOC)
as indicated on the label on the bottom side of the

base station.
