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

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.
