Following safety precautions
Warning
Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device. Use only the cable supplied for LAN connection and connect it to the intended
ports only.
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 (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Technical Data").
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp envi­ronment such as bathrooms or shower rooms.
Do not use the devices 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.
10
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could interfere with other wireless services.

Establishing a connection to the local network/WLAN

Your phone must be connected to the local network before it can connect to the Internet and before you can operate it from a PC.
The device checks to see if a network connection already exists. The network connection is automatically established if the phone has automatically been assigned an IP address from a DHCP server in the network. If this is the case, the following screen will not appear and you
£
can skip to
Please note
The following network configuration is the default setting on your device: LAN with IP pro­tocol version 4 (IPv4) and DHCP.
If your phone has no network connection, you will need to configure the network manually. Depending on the type of network, you will need the following information about the con­figuration:
u
If the network uses IP protocol version 4 (IPv4) with a static IP address, you will need: The device IP address, the network subnet mask, the IP addresses of the standard gateway
and DNS server.
u
If the network uses IP protocol version 6 (IPv6): IP addresses automatically: select IPv6 as Network Type. The connection is then estab-
lished automatically. IP addresses statically: the device IP address, the address prefix length and the DNS server
IP address.
u
If you are using the wireless local network (WLAN), you will need: The name of the WLAN with which you wish to connect the phone (SSID), network key
If there is still no network connection, you will then be asked whether you wish to configure the connection manually.

First steps

Configuring Internet telephony

Before you can use the Internet to phone anyone over the Internet, the fixed line network or the mobile phone network, you need the services of a VoIP provider.
Prerequisite:
– You have a phone system in your network that provides VoIP accounts for your device,
or
– You have registered with a VoIP provider (e.g., via your PC) and set up a VoIP account.
The device searches the network for a provisioning file and checks whether VoIP accounts already exist. If the telephone has existing VoIP accounts, these accounts are configured auto­matically. You can now make calls with your phone via the Internet.
If the telephone has no existing VoIP accounts, you must configure them manually. The Web
£
configurator's installation wizard will help you with this (
page 122).
