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 recognised by their ringer and their colour in the directory (¢ page 31).

If you don't (always) want it to ring

Use time control for calls (¢ page 52) or ensure that all calls from a withheld number are not signalled (¢ page 52).

Other practical information

Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢ page 31), use the shortcut function (¢ page 31) and adjust the colour and contrast of the display to your requirements (¢ page 50).

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 60, 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 analogue 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 59).

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. It is also not possible to trans-

mit emergency calls.

Taking the first steps

Setting up the base and charging cradle (if included)

The base and charging cradle are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.

¤ 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 65).

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 46).

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

¤ 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 Use only the power adapter and

phone cord supplied. Pin connections on telephone cables can vary (pin connections, ¢ page 61).

u The answering machine is ready for

use approx. 15 seconds after the base has been connected or reset.

Inserting the battery and closing the battery cover

Use only rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH (¢ page 60), as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.

8.5 hrs

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 charging cradle.

¤ 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 After a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical

reasons.

You can cancel the dialling operation with the end call key a.

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

Please note

Dialling with the directory (¢ page 30), call list (¢ page 34) and redial list (¢ page 32) saves you from repeatedly keying in phone numbers.

Ending a call

a Press the end call key.

Accepting 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.

To accept the call, press the talk key c. Gigaset C300A: Instead of accepting the call,

you can also redirect it to the answering machine:

§Menu§ ¤ Divert to AM ¤ §OK§

u Your network provider supports CLIP, CLI.

– CLI (Calling Line Identification):

The caller's number is transmitted.

– CLIP (Calling Line Identification

The following is displayed in place of the number:

u External Call, if no number is transmitted. u Withheld, if the caller has withheld Call-

ing Line Identification.

u Unavailable, if the caller has not

arranged Calling Line Identification.

Please note

The ringtone can be switched off for unknown calls (calls with Calling Line Identification restricted) (¢ page 52).

Notes on calling line display (CLIP)

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 CLIP from your net-

work provider or

u Your telephone is connected via a PABX

or a router with an integrated PABX (gateway) that does not transmit all information.

Is your telephone connected via a PABX/gateway?

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

¤ Briefly disconnect the mains plug of your

PABX. Re-insert the plug and wait for the

device to restart.

If the caller number is still not displayed:

¤ Check the CLIP settings of your PABX and

activate this function if necessary. In the

user guide for the device, search for the

term "CLIP" (or an alternative term such

as "calling line identification", "phone

number transmission", "caller ID", ...).

If necessary, contact the device manufac-

turer. If this does not resolve the problem, it is pos-

sible that your network provider does not the CLIP service for this number.

Have you ordered the calling line display service from your network provider?

¤ Check whether your provider supports

calling line display (CLIP) 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

Page 29

Making calls

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.

Please note

Inform your caller before you use the handsfree function so that the caller knows a third party may be listening.

Activating/deactivating handsfree mode

During a call and when listening to the answering machine (Gigaset C300A only), activate or deactivate handsfree mode.

d Press the handsfree key.

Each key press switches between handset and handsfree mode. If handsfree mode is activated, the key is lit up.

If you wish to place the handset in the charger during a call:

¤ Press and hold handsfree key d while

placing the handset in the base/charger and for a further 2 seconds.

For instructions on adjusting the handsfree volume, please see page 51.

Specifying automatic network provider code (preselection)

You can store a call-by-call number (preselection number), which is automatically placed in front of numbers when you dial them.

In the With Preselection list, specify the access codes or the first digits of the access codes that you wish to assign to the preselection number.

In the Without Preselection list, enter the exceptions to the With Preselection list.

Example:

Preselection Number 0999

With Preselection 08

Without Preselection 081

084

All numbers that start with 08, except for 081 and 084, are dialled with the preselection number 0999.

to add the access code (external line pre-

fix) before the number of the SMS centre.

If in doubt, test your PABX, e.g., by send-

ing an SMS to your own number: once

with and once without the access code.

u When you send SMS messages, your

sender number may be sent without your

extension number. In this case, the recip-

ient cannot reply to you directly.

Sending and receiving SMS messages on ISDN PABXs is only possible via the MSN number assigned to your base.
