Gigaset CX610 ISDN – more than just a telephone

Gigaset CX610 ISDN – more than just a telephone

Your ISDN connection offers you two telephone lines simultaneously.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu make your

phone very simple to use.
Your phone can do a whole lot more:

u Use your Gigaset as a PABX – register up to six handsets. Assign each device its

own phone number (MSN).

u Configuring your Gigaset is easy thanks to the wizards – they determine the

MSNs for your ISDN connection (provider-specific) and help you to register
handsets and assign send and receive MSNs to the handset (¢ page 16).

u You can save anniversaries, e.g., birthdays, in your phone and it will remind you

of them in advance.

u Allocate important people to one of six VIP groups so you can identify important

calls from the ringtone and the colour of the assigned VIP group.

u If you only want to accept calls when you can see the number, you can set your

handset to only ring when the phone number is transmitted.

u You can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone (quick

dial). You can then dial the number by simply pressing a key.

u Set the display to large print to increase readability in particularly important

screens (e.g., the directory and lists).

u Gigaset Green Home — be environmentally aware when using your phone.

Safety precautions

Warning

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
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 the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢ page 74) as this could oth-
erwise 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. This may cause 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 an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids
or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid
supplier.

The base is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤ Set up the base on a level, non-slip surface at a central point in the building or

mount the base on the wall (¢ page 79).

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 53).

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, marks on
the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.

Please note:

u Never expose the telephone to the effects 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

power adapter 2.

¤ Then connect the

telephone jack 1
and insert the cables
into the cable ducts.

First steps

Please note:

u The power adapter

must always be connected, as the phone will not operate without a mains con­nection.

u Only use the power adapter and phone cord supplied.

The display is protected by a plastic film.

Please remove the protective film!

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover

Only use rechargeable batteries (¢ page 74) recommended by Gigaset Com­munications GmbH i.e., never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery, as
this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the
outer casing of the batteries could be damaged 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.

Initial charging and discharging of the batteries

The correct charge level can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully charged
and discharged.

¤ Charge the handset for 10 hours in the base.

Please note

The handset must only be placed in the designated Gigaset CX610 base or
charging cradle.

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

batteries are fully discharged.

12

Please note

u Each handset is registered with the base at the factory. You do not need to

register the handset again. If you wish to use your handset with a different
base or use additional handsets with your base, you have to register the
handset manually (¢ page 54).

u After the first battery charge and discharge, you may replace your handset

in its base 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.
