Safety precautions

Read the user guide and the safety precautions
carefully before use. Explain their contents to your

W

children, and the potential hazards associated
with using the telephone.

Only use the mains unit supplied.

$

Fit only the approved rechargeable battery
pack! Never use a conventional (non-recharge-

able) battery pack as this could damage your
health and cause injury. Use the battery pack as
directed in this user guide (page 3).

The operation of medical appliances may be
affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
within the particular environment (e.g. doctor's
practice).

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear
when it is ringing or when the handsfree func­tion is activated. This can cause severe, perma­nent hearing damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant hum­ming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the phone in a bathroom or
shower room. The handset and base station
are not splashproof.

Do not use the telephone in environments
subject to explosion hazard (e.g. auto paint
shops).

If you give your Gigaset to someone else,
make sure you also give them the user guide.

ECO DECT

ECO DECT reduces power consumption by using a
power supply with low power consumption and
also reduces the transmission power of the base
station.
The transmission power of the base station is
switched off when just 1 handset is registered on
the base station!

Your handset also reduces the transmission power
depending on the distance to the base station.

Setting up the telephone for use

Step 1: Connecting the base station

Please note:
The display is protected by a plastic film.

Please remove the protective film!

Fitting the battery pack

◆ Place the battery leads in the cable guides so

that the battery cover cannot catch on the leads
and damage them when it is closed.

Base station without answering machine

Base station with answering machine

First connect the mains unit (230 V) to power
cord

1 and then connect the phone jack to phone

cord

2, as shown above. Place the cords in the cord

recesses. The two cords must be plugged in at all
times.

◆ Only use the mains unit supplied.

◆ If you ever purchase another phone cord from

a store, ensure that the phone conductors are
correctly connected: 3-4 connection of the tele­phone conductors/EURO CTR37.

◆ Use only the rechargeable battery pack rec-

ommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH *
(page 9), i.e. never use a conventional (non­rechargeable) battery pack as this may cause sig­nificant damage to health and property. For
example, the outer casing of the battery pack
could be destroyed or the battery pack could
explode. The phone could also malfunction or be
damaged as a result of using batteries that are not
of the recommended type.

◆ Only use the battery charger supplied.

◆ Only place the handset in the charging cradle

that is intended for it.

* Gigaset Communications GmbH is a trademark

licensee of Siemens AG.

◆ Insert the plug into the socket as shown in the

enlarged view.

◆ Insert the battery pack.

◆ Place the cords in the cord routing.

Closing the battery cover

Insert the cover into the top end of the battery
compartment and press down until it clicks into
place.

Opening the battery cover

Place your fingernail between the cover and the
housing and pull the cover upwards.

Step 3: Registering the handset to the base station and charging the battery pack

Precondition: The handset is not already regis­tered to a base station.

Registering the handset to the Gigaset A160/A260/
A165/A265 base station occurs automatically.
Place the handset in the charging cradle of the
base station with its display facing forward. You
will hear a confirmation tone. Leave the handset in
the base station until it is registered.
For multi-sets:
Repeat this procedure with each additional hand­set.

Automatic registration can take up to 5 minutes.
While this is happening, Registering flashes in the
screen. The handset is assigned the lowest unas­signed internal number (1–4). If several handsets
are registered to the base station, the internal
number is shown in the top left of the display after
registration, e.g. 2. If the internal numbers 1 to 4
have already been assigned (four handsets have
already been registered), handset number four is
de-registered and overwritten.

Charging the battery pack

To charge the battery pack, leave the handset
in the base station for approx. 13 hours for the
Gigaset A160/A260 or approx. 6 hours for the
Gigaset A165/A265. The battery pack is now fully
charged. The charge status of the battery pack is
correctly displayed only after uninterrupted charg­ing/discharging. Therefore you should not
interrupt the charging procedure.

Charging is electronically controlled to prevent the
battery pack from overcharging. The battery pack
heats up during charging. This is normal and not
dangerous. After a time its charge capacity will
decrease for technical reasons.
You must set the date and time to ensure that the
times of calls are logged correctly (see Menu tree,
page 12).

Once the phone is registered and the time set, the
idle display looks as shown on page 1.
