Safety precautions

Read this manual and the safety precautions carefully before use. Explain their contents to your

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 these instructions (page 6).

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

The handset may cause an intrusive 'hum' in hearing aids. Do not hold the handset against your ear while it is ringing (incoming call).

Do not install the phone in a bathroom or shower room as the handset and base are not splash-proof. (page 7)

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 operating manual.

Dispose of the battery pack and telephone in accordance with environmental regulations.

Do not pollute the environment. Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock (page 2) is activated! Not all of the functions described in this manual are available in all countries.

Setting up the telephone for use

Opening the battery cover

Push the point show in the picture and lift it.

Step 1: Connecting the base

◆ 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.

◆ Only insert the recommended re-

chargeable battery pack, i.e. never use a

Connect the phone jack with the phone cord 1

and the mains units (220 V) with the power cord

normal battery pack as this could damage your health and cause injury.

◆ Never use non-Siemens battery charg-

ers as this could damage the battery pack.

charging cradle that is intended for it.

2 as shown. Place the cords in the cord recesses.

The two cords must be plugged in at all times.

◆ Use only the mains unit supplied (see the bot-

tom of the base).

◆ 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.

Step 2: Setting up the handset

Fitting the battery pack

◆ Fit the plug into the socket.

◆ Insert the battery (see diagram below).

◆ Place the battery leads in the cable guides.

Closing the battery cover

Place the cover on the battery compartment as shown in the diagram, then push it down until it snaps

into position.

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

Place your handset in the base with the display facing forwards. The handset will now register automatically to the base. For procedure see

page 4.

Charging the battery pack

To charge the battery pack, leave the handset in the base for approx. 13 hours. The battery pack is now fully charged. The charge status of the batter y pack is correctly displayed only after uninterrupted charging/discharging. You should not therefore interrupt the charging process.

Charging is electronically controlled to prevent overcharging. The battery pack heats up during charging; this is normal and not dangerous. After a time the charge capacity of the pack will decrease for technical reasons.

You must set the date and time to ensure that the times of calls are logged correctly (page 8). Your telephone is now ready to use.

Activating/deactivating the handset

Press the 'end call' key aand hold. If you place a deactivated handset in the base sta-

tion or charger, it will automatically activate.

Activating/deactivating the keypad lock

You can "lock" the keys on the handset to protect the keypad against inadvertent activation.
