Gigaset C300H – 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 26). 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 27).
If you don't (always) want it to ring
Use time control for calls (¢ page 33) or ensure that all calls from a withheld number are not
signalled (¢ page 34).
Other practical information
Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢ page 27), use the shortcut function (¢ page 27) and adjust the color and contrast of the display to your requirements
(¢ page 32).

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.
$
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on
page 36, 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.
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 "Ap pendix" 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 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 with analog 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 36).
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 or have them repaired by our Service, 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.

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 31).
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.
