Gigaset C285 – more than just a telephone

Your phone not only lets you store up to 140 phone numbers (page 16), it can do a whole lot more:

u Phone directly using the base station:

Your base station has the same keys as your handset. So nearly all functions you usually use on the handset are also available directly on the base station.

u Use two telephone lines with only one

telephone.

u Make conference calls with two external

parties (page 29).

u View missed calls on your phone

(page 17).

u ECO DECT uses a power supply with low

power consumption. Your handset reduces the transmission power depending on its distance from the base station (close-up range).

Note:

The transmission power of the base station is lowered to its minimum level when the handset is placed in the base station and only one handset is registered on the base station.

Or: c~ Briefly press the Talk key c or

Handsfree key d, and then enter the number.

To cancel the dialing operation, press the End Call key a.

Depending on the line settings of the used handset/base station (see page 11), the telephone selects the line. You can use the line keys C or h instead of the c or d key to select the line for this call.

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

Note:

Dialing using the directory (page 16) or Calls list (page 17) saves time re-entering numbers.

Ending a call

a Press the End Call key.

Answering a call

The handset indicates an incoming call in three ways: by ringing, by a display on the screen, and by the flashing Talk key c.

The base station indicates an incoming call in three ways: by ringing, by a display on the screen, and by the flashing line key C or h.

You can accept the call by:

¤ Pressing the Talk key c. ¤ Pressing the line key C or h. ¤ Pressing the Handsfree key d.

Depending on the line settings of the used handset/base station (see page 11), the telephone reacts differently:

u If you have selected Auto, you can use

the Talk key c or Handsfree key d

for calls on both lines.

u If you have selected Line 1 or Line 2, you

can only answer calls on the selected line

with the Talk key c or Handsfree key

d. For calls on the other line, you must

use the C key or h key to answer the

call.

If the handset is in the base station or charger and the Auto Answer function is activated (page 30), the call will be answered automatically when you lift the handset from the base station or charger. Lifting the handset from the base station or charger in this case has the same effect as pressing the Tal k key c.

You can press the the ring tone of your handset without answering the call. The other registered handsets and the base station keep ringing. You can answer the call as long the call is displayed on the screen.

§Quiet§ display key to mute

If two calls are ringing simultaneously on the two lines, your telephone display will switch from one line to the other every 3 seconds.

¥ Use the C key or h key to answer the

call.

Operating the telephone

FCC / ACTA Information

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit

not expressly approved by Gigaset Communications USA LLC could void the FCC authority to operate the equipment. This includes the addition of any external antenna device. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of the base station is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

A p lu g an d j ack us ed to c on nec t t hi s eq ui pme nt to the premises wiring and telephone network must 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. A copy of the supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) is available at this Internet address: www.gigaset.com/docs.

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.
