Using a handset as a
room monitor
When the room monitor function is activated and the handset detects a specific
noise level, the handset automatically calls a
destination phone number. That phone
number can be either another handset or an
external number.
The room monitor call to an external
number stops after around 90 seconds. The
room monitor call to an internal number
(handset) stops after approx. 3 minutes
(depending on the base station). When the
room monitor is activated, all keys are locked
except the End Call key. The handset's
speaker is muted.
When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indicated with-out a ringer and are only shown on the
screen. The display and keypad are not illuminated, and advisory tones are also turned
off. When the room monitor function is activated, all of the handset keys are deactivated
except for the Display keys.
If you accept an incoming call, the room
monitor is suspended for the duration of the
call, but the function remains activated.
If you deactivate then reactivate the handset, the room monitor remains activated.
Warning!
u Always check the operation of the
room monitor before use. For example, test its sensitivity. Check the
connection if you are diverting the
room monitor to an outside number.
u When the function is switched on, the
handset's operating time is considerably reduced. If necessary, place the
handset in the charging cradle.
u Ideally, the handset should be posi-
tioned 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) away
from the baby. The microphone must
be directed towards the baby.
u The connection to which the room
monitor is forwarded must not be
blocked by an activated voice mail.

Industry Canada Certification
Operation is subject to the following two conditions (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications
network, protective, operational and safety
requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should
ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications
company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with
the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,
may give the telecommunications company cause
to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that
the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together.
This precaution may be particularly important in
rural areas
NOTE: Users should not attempt to make such
connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority,
or electrician, as appropriate.
This product meets the applicable Industry
Canada technical specifications.
The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of
the maximum number of devices allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement
that the sum of the RENs of all devices does not

FCC / ACTA Information
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit
not expressly approved by Gigaset Communications USA LLC could void the FCC authority to
operate the equipment. This includes the addition
of any external antenna device.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the bottom of the base station is a label that
contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.

the premises wiring and telephone network must
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided
with this product. It is designed to be connected
to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to a telephone
line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result
in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devices that may be connected to
a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact
the local telephone company. For products
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point
(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the
REN is separately shown on the label.

FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones
operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby T V’s and VCR’s; to minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should
not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if
interference is experienced, moving the base farther away from theTV or VCR will often reduce or
eliminate the interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the system off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the base station and receiver.
3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV
technician for help.
