Gigaset C300/C300A – your high-quality accessory
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).
ƒIf 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.
uThe 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.

Taking the first steps
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:
uNever 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.
