Safety precautions
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit emer-
gency calls.
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is activated!
Safety precautions
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see list of permitted
batteries www.gigaset.com/service
other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable
batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.
Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base station while the headset is connected.
The handset must not be operated if the battery cover is open.
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such
as bathrooms or shower rooms.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could interfere with other wireless services. Disconnect the telephone network connector (TNV circuit
connector).
Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause injury
to hands and face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.
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.
The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause
them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
Keep small cells and batteries, which can be swallowed, out of the reach of children.
Swallowing a battery can lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue and death. Severe burns can
occur within 2 hours of swallowing.
In the case of a swallowed cell or battery, seek medical care immediately.
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").

Emergency function
Emergency function
Your Gigaset E560A is equipped with four additional keys (direct dial keys to ) on the
base and handset. The direct dial key can be assigned a special emergency function
("emergency key"). You can use this to request emergency assistance from friends or
neighbours.
The emergency function must be set up first ( page 28)
Once the emergency function has been activated, the emergency key on the handset
and the base is permanently illuminated.
Process
¤ You can trigger the emergency call on the base or on the handset by pressing the direct dial
key .
The person receiving your emergency call will hear the emergency call message:
• "This is an emergency call."
• A personal emergency call message, if you have recorded one ( page 30).
• "To accept the call please press key 5."
If the person receiving the call presses the key 5, you can now speak to one another.
If the person receiving the call does not accept the call, the emergency function automatically
dials the next emergency number after 60 seconds (if several numbers have been saved). The
emergency function also automatically switches to the next emergency number after
60 seconds in the following situations:
• The answer machine of the emergency number selected is activated
• The emergency number is busy
• The telephone of the person receiving the emergency call is not set to "tone dialling".
This process is repeated a maximum of 5 times. If none of the calls are accepted, the
emergency function is ended with an error tone.
• All emergency keys on all registered handsets and on the b ase flash throughout the
entire process. The message "Sending emergency call" is displayed on the handset
on which the emergency call was triggered.
• If an internal call is saved as well ( page 29), the emergency call can also be
accepted by an internal participant. The message "Emergency call" appears on all
registered handsets and the base.
