Safety precautions
Read this manual 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 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.
ƒ
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
W
12
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.
◆ Only place the handset in the base/
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.
