Gigaset C300/C300A/CS310/CS310A– your highquality 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 29). 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 30).
If you don't (always) want it to ring
Use time control for calls (¢ page 51) or ensure that all calls from a withheld number are not
signalled (¢ page 51).
Other practical information
Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢ page 30), use the shortcut function (¢ page 30) and adjust the colour and contrast of the display to your requirements
(¢ page 50).

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.
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 "Appendix" 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 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 60).
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.

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 67).
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 45).
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

personal injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries could be
destroyed or the batteries could explode. The phone could also malfunction
or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of the recommended
type.

Taking the first steps
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/
CS310/CS310A 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.

Using Calling Line
Identification
When you receive a call, the caller's number
is displayed on the screen, if the following
prerequisites are met.
u Your network provider supports CLIP, CLI.
– CLI (Calling Line Identification):
The caller's number is transmitted.
– CLIP (Calling Line Identification
Presentation): The caller's number
is displayed.
u You have requested CLIP from your net-
work provider.
u The caller has requested CLI from the net-
work provider.
Call display with CLIP/CLI
If the caller's number is saved in your directory, the caller's name will be displayed.
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 (gate-
way) that does not transmit all informa-
tion.
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.
1Ringer icon
2 Number or name of caller
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.
The ringtone can be switched off for
unknown calls (calls with Calling Line
Identification restricted) (¢ page 51).
26
Please note
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.
Page 29
Making calls
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
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/CS310A
only), activate or deactivate handsfree
mode.
dPress 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 50.

ECO DECT
ECO DECT
You are helping to protect the environment
with your Gigaset.
Reducing energy consumption
Your telephone has a power-saving adapter
plug and uses less power.
Reducing radiation
The radiation from your telephone is
reduced automatically:
u Handset: The closer the handset is to the
base, the lower the radiation.
u Base: The radiation is reduced to virtually
zero when only one handset is registered
and the handset is placed in the base.
You can further reduce the radiation from
the handset and base by using Eco Mode:
Eco Mode
Reduces radiation from the base and handset by 80% – whether you are making a call
or not. Eco Mode reduces the range of the
base by approx. 50%. Using Eco Mode
always makes sense when a reduced range is
sufficient.
Switching off radiation
Eco Mode+
If you activate Eco Mode+, radiation (DECT
transmission power) from the base and
handset is deactivated in idle status. This is
also true when multiple handsets are used,
provided the handsets support Eco Mode+.
Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ can be activated/
deactivated independently of one another
and can also be used with multiple handsets.

Please note
u When using Eco Mode+, you can
ensure that the base is in range by
pressing and holding the talk key c.
You hear the dial tone if the base can
be reached.
u When Eco Mode+ is activated:
– Call setup is delayed by approx.
2seconds.
– Handset standby time is reduced
by approx. 50%.
u Registering handsets that do not sup-
port Eco Mode+ causes the mode to
be deactivated on the base and all
other handsets.
u Activating Eco Mode reduces the
range of the base.
