Gigaset A510/A510A – 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 150 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 ringtone and
their background colour (¢ page 31).
If you don't (always) want it to ring
Use time control for calls (¢ page 45) or ensure that all calls from a withheld number are not
signalled (¢ page 46).
Other practical information
Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢ page 31), use the shortcut function (¢ page 31) and adjust the background colour and contrast of the display to your
requirements (¢ page 44).

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 57, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base station while the headset is
connected.
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 57).
Safety precautions
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint
shops).
If you give your phone to a third party, make sure you also give them the user
manual.
Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service team, 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 63.
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 41).
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 effects of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
First steps
Connecting the base
¤ First connect the telephone jack 1
and insert the cables into the cable
ducts.
¤ Then connect the power adapter 2.
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 58).
u The answering machine is ready for
use approx. 15 seconds after the
base has been connected or reset.

First steps
Initial charging and discharging of the batteries
The correct charge status can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully
charged and discharged.
¤ Charge the handset in the base for 6 hours.
Please note
The handset must only be placed in the designated Gigaset A510/A510A base
or charger.
14
¤ After charging, remove the handset from the base and only replace it when the

However, if a handset is not registered with the base (Register handset or
Place handset in base flashes on the display), please register the handset
manually ¢ page 42.
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.
If you have any questions about using your phone, please read the tips
on troubleshooting (¢ page 55) or contact our Customer Care team

name (town/city) that is registered with your

is stored in your directory, the CID name and

2 Name and location
The display shows:
u External Call, if no number is transmitted.
u Withheld, if the caller has withheld
Caller ID.
u Unavailable, if the caller has not
arranged Caller ID.
Please note
The ringer can be switched off for
unknown calls (calls with Caller ID withheld) (¢ page 46).
Notes on phone number display (Caller ID)
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 Caller ID from your
network provider
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 home connection, e.g., a
PABX, gateway etc. In most cases, simply
resetting this device will remedy the situation:
¤ Briefly disconnect the PABX power plug.
Re-insert the plug and wait for the device
to restart.
If the caller number is still not
displayed:
¤ Check the phone number display set-
tings of your PABX and activate this function if necessary. In the user manual for
the device, search for the term "CID" (or
an alternative term such as "calling line
identification", "phone number transmission", "caller ID" etc.). If necessary, contact
the device manufacturer.
If this does not resolve the problem, it is possible that your network provider does not
provide the Caller ID service for this number.

Handsfree operation
