station.
Only fit the recommended rechargeable batteries of the same type
(page 38)! In other words, do not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Fit rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity and use them according to
this user guide (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compartment, page 9).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, for example doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the reverse side of the handset to your ear if the handset is ringing
or if the handsfree function is switched on. Otherwise, you risk developing serious, permanent hearing damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and
base station are not splash proof (page 36).
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, for
example auto paint shops.

SOS mode
Your Gigaset E365 is equipped with a special SOS function or SOS procedure. You can use
this SOS procedure to request assistance in case of emergency. You can store up to four SOS numbers.
The SOS numbers can be stored on the SOS/direct dialling key I. In case of an emergency,
you then only have to press the direct dialling key I. The SOS procedure is initiated when
you press this key.
The SOS procedure automatically dials the first SOS number you entered. If this number is
busy or if the person called is not at home, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next
SOS number.
In order to use the SOS procedure, you have to first program the SOS/direct dialling key I
and activate SOS mode (page 18).
When SOS mode is activated, the SOS LED lights up permanently in the SOS key on
i
the handset and base station!

SOS mode
SOS procedure
The way the SOS procedure operates is described below.
Press the SOS/direct dialling key é on the base station and the device dials immedi-ately.
You have t o press and hold the SOS/direct dialling key é on the handset to launch the function immediately.
If you just press the key briefly and don't hold it down, you have to confirm with §Yes§ to
prevent an emergency call from being initiated inadvertently.
Å
The first SOS number is dialled as soon as you press the SOS direct dialling key. At the
same time, the message "Sending emergency call" is played back via the loudspeaker.
Å
If the SOS call is answered, the callee automatically first hears the message "This is an
emergency call". Your name is then played back after this message. You must have pro-
grammed the SOS key accordingly in order for your name to be announced (see page 18).
This is followed by the message "To accept the call please press 5". If the callee now
presses key 5, you can converse with one another.
Å
If the callee does not answer the call, for example because s/he is not at home or his/her
answering machine is switched on, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next SOS
number. The SOS procedure switches automatically to the next SOS number after 60 seconds in the following cases:
u The call is not answered
u The answering machine for the selected SOS number is switched on
u The SOS number is busy
Å
The procedure is repeated at most four times. If none of the calls is answered, the SOS
procedure is ended with an error tone.
Recipients of the emergency call must have set their telephones to tone dialling as otherwise confirmation of the SOS call with key 5 will not be recognized.
– During the entire procedure, all SOS keys flash on all registered handsets and on
the base station. The message "Sending emergency call" is issued on the handset
that triggered the emergency call.
– If an internal call is programmed additionally, the SOS call can also be answered by
an internal user. The text "Emergency call" is output on all registered handsets and
i
the base station.
– You should perform a test run of the SOS procedure to ensure that SOS mode is
programmed correctly. The police, rescue services or fire brigade must not be used
for a test run.
– Please note that the standby time of the handset will be reduced when SOS mode
is activated.
– The SOS LED lights up permanently when SOS mode is activated!

handset is placed in the base station.
The transmitting power of the base station is
switched off when only 1 handset is registered
on the base station!
Additionally, your Gigaset handset automatically reduces transmitting power depending
on the distance to the base station (close-up
range).
Have fun using your new telephone!

Setting up the handset for use
Fitting the batteries and closing the
cover
Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH *
on page 38. Never use a conventional (nonrechargeable) battery or other battery types as
this could result in significant health risks and
personal injury. For example, the batteries
could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of the recommended type.
* Gigaset Communications GmbH is a trademark
licensee of Siemens AG.
The polarity is indicated in the battery
compartment.
¤ First align the notches on the side of
the battery cover with the protrusions
of the inside of the casing.
¤ Then press down the cover so that it
clicks into place.
Attaching the belt clip
There are notches for attaching the belt
clip on the side of the handset at the same
height as the display.
¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the
handset so that the protrusions on the
belt clip engage with the notches.
You can also attach a cord for carrying the
handset in your hand or wearing it around
your neck.
¤ Fit the batteries with the correct polar-
ity (see diagram).
9
First steps
Opening the battery cover
¤ If fitted, remove the belt clip.
¤ Reach into the housing cavity and pull
the battery cover upwards.
Placing the handset in the base station
and registering
Requirement: the handset must not
already be registered on any base station.
Registering the handset on the Gigaset
E365 base station occurs automatically.
¤ Place the handset in the charging cra-
dle of the base station with its display
facing forward.
You will hear a confirmation tone.
Automatic registration can take up to
5 minutes. While registration is in
progress the screen displays Registering .
The handset is assigned the lowest unassigned internal number (1–4). If several
handsets are registered on the base, the
internal number is shown in the display
after registration, for example 2. This
means that the handset has been assigned
the internal number 2.
Please note:
– Automatic registration is only possible if
the base station on which you wish to register the handset is not being used to make
a call.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– If four handsets are already registered on
the base station there are two options:
– The handset with the internal number 4
is in idle status: the handset you wish to
register is assigned the number 4. The
handset that was previously number 4 is
de-registered.
– The handset with the internal number 4
is being used: the handset you wish to
register cannot be registered.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually
(page 30).
¤ To charge the batteries, leave the hand-
set in the charging cradle on the
base station.
Please note:
– The handset may only be placed in the
base/charging cradle provided for it.
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the batteries are flat and is then
placed in the base/cradle, it will switch
itself on automatically.
For questions and problems see page 36.

First steps
Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
Battery charging is indicated in the top
right of the display by a flashing battery
icon e, V or U. During handset
operation, the battery icon indicates the
charge status of the batteries (page 1).
The correct charge status can only be displayed when the batteries are first fully
charged and discharged through use.
¤ To do this, leave the handset in the
base without interruption until the battery icon stops flashing in the display
(approx. 6h).
¤ Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the base and
do not put it back again until the batteries are fully discharged.
Please note:
After the first battery charge and discharge
you may replace your handset in its base after
every call.
