Gigaset C300/C300A – 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 up to 250 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 recognized by their ringer and their color in the directory (¢ page 30).

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 signaled (¢ page 45).

Other practical information

Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢ page 31), use the shortcut function (¢ page 31) and adjust the color and contrast of the display to your requirements (¢ page 44).

Following safety precautions

Warning

Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone. 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 51, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment e.g., doctor's surgery.

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 analog 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 51).

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).

If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.

Remove faulty bases from use, 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. In case of a power failure, it is

not possible to make any calls including emergency calls.

Setting up the base and charger (if included)

The base and charger are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +41°F to +113°F.

¤ 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 62).

Please note

Pay attention to the range of the base. This is up to 328 yards in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 55 yards inside buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (¢ page 40).

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 influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or

other electrical devices.

u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.

Connecting the base

Taking the first steps

¤ First, connect the telephone jack 2

and insert the cables into the cable ducts.

¤ Then connect the power adapter 1.

Please note:

u The power adapter must always be

connected, as the phone will not

operate without a mains connection.

u The power adapter must always be

connected, as the phone will not

operate without an A/C power connection.

u Use only the power adapter and

phone cord supplied. Pin connections on telephone cables can vary (pin connections, ¢ page 52).

u The answering machine is ready for use approx. 15 seconds after the base has

been connected or reset.

Taking the first steps

Initial charging and discharging of the batteries

The correct charge status can only be displayed if the battery is first fully charged and discharged.

¤ Charge the handset in the base for 8.5 hours.

The handset must only be placed in the designated Gigaset C300/C300A base or charger.

¤ After charging, remove the handset from the base and only replace it when the

batteries are fully discharged.

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.

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 Over time, it is normal for the charge capacity of the batteries to decrease for

technical reasons.

Ending a call

If the handset is in the charger and the Auto Answer function is activated (¢ page 44),

the handset automatically answers calls when you remove it from the base/charger.

If the ringer is intrusive, you can deactivate it:

§Menu§ ¤ Silent ¤ §OK§

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

Using 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 CID.

– The caller's number is transmitted. – The caller's number is displayed. – The caller's name is displayed.

u You have requested CID from your

Caller ID.

u Unavailable, if the caller has not

arranged Caller ID.

Please note

The ringer can be switched off for unknown calls (calls with Caller ID restricted) (¢ page 45).

Notes on Caller ID (CID)

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 CID from your net-

work provider or

u Your telephone is connected through a

PBX that does not transmit all information.

Is your telephone connected through a PBX/gateway?

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

¤ Briefly disconnect the power plug of your

PBX. Re-insert the plug and wait for the device to restart.

If the caller number is still not displayed:

¤ Check the CID settings of your PBX

and activate this function if necessary. In the user guide for the device, search for the term "CID" (or an alternative term such as "phone number transmission", "caller ID", ..). If necessary, contact the device manufacturer.

If this does not resolve the problem, it is possible that your network provider does not support the CID service for this number.

* Depending on what extent the service pro-

vider supports CID

Page 30

Making calls

Have you ordered the CID service from your network provider?

¤ Check whether your provider supports

Caller ID (CID) 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 homepage at: www.gigaset.com/service

Using handsfree mode

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.

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.

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 the TV 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.
