Insert rechargeable batteries as indicated by their polarity symbols, and use
them according to these instructions (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compartments).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. operation rooms.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in bathrooms or showers. The handset and base
are not waterproof (page 33).
Switch off your phone when onboard aircraft. Ensure that it cannot be switched
on again accidentally.
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard,
e.g. auto paint shops.

Gigaset C340– More than just a telephone
Gigaset C340– More than
just a telephone
Your phone not only lets you send and
receive text messages over the fixed network and store up to 100 telephone numbers (page 12) – it can do much, much
more:
u You can programme the keys of your
phone with important numbers so you
can dial at the touch of a button
(page 13).
u You can designate important people as
VIPs so you can tell important calls from
the ring tone (page 12).
u You can store birthdays (page 13) in
your phone and it will remind you of
them in advance.
Have fun using your new phone!

Setting up the handset for use
Inserting the batteries
Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Siemens on page 36! Under no circumstances should you use a conventional
(non rechargeable) battery or other battery
types as this could cause significant damage to
health and property, e.g. the outer casing of
the batteries could be destroyed or 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.
¤ Fit the batteries with the correct
polarity.

¤ Position the battery cover against the
edge 1 and push down until it clicks
home.
Opening the battery cover
¤ Push the catch 2 towards the loud-
speaker 1 and lift the cover up.

2
Placing the handset in the base and
registering it
¤ Place the handset in the charging cra-
dle of the base unit with its display facing forward.
The handset registers automatically. Registration takes around 1 minute. While this
is happening, Registering appears in the
display and the name of the base, Base 1,
flashes. The handset is given the lowest
available internal number (1–6). When
the handset has registered, this number
appears in the display, e.g. INT 1. This
means that the handset has been allocated the first internal number. If all internal numbers 1–6 have been assigned (six
handsets are registered on a base), the
number 6 is overwritten if that handset is
in idle status.
Notes:
– Automatic registration is not possible when
the base on which you wish to register the
handset is being used to make a call.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually
(page 24).
– The name of the handset can be changed
(page 26).
6
Preparing to use the phone
¤ Leave the handset in the charging cra-
dle in the base to charge up the
batteries.
Notes:
– The handset may only be placed in the base
provided for it.
– When the handset is in the base, it charges
even if it is switched off. You will see the
charge status in the display.
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the batteries are flat and if it is
then placed in the base, it will switch itself
on automatically.
If you have any questions or problems see
page 33.
First battery charge and discharge
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). Your handset need
not be switched on for it to charge.
¤ 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.
Note:
After the first battery charge and discharge
you may replace your handset in its base after
every call.
Please note:
u Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and insert
them in again.
u The batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
u After a while the charge capacity of the
batteries will decrease for technical reasons.
Your telephone is now ready for use

preselection
You can specify a call-by-call number
(preselection number) that is automati-cally placed before certain numbers from
two lists when you dial.
u The "with preselection" list contains
the "rule": dialling codes or the first digits of dialling codes with which the
preselection number will be used.
u The "without preselection" list con-
tains the "exception to the rule".
Example:
You have entered 08 for "with
preselection". Now all numbers that
start with 08 will be dialled with preselection.
If you want, say, 081to be dialled without preselection, then enter 081 for
"without preselection".
Now when you dial, after you press the
talk/handsfree key the first digits of the
dialled number are compared with both
lists :
u The preselection number is not placed
before the number if the dialled
number matches
– no entry on either list
– one entry on the "without preselec-
tion" list
u The preselection number will be used
when the first digits of the dialled
number match only one entry on the
"with preselection" list.

Registering handsets
You can register up to six handsets on your
base unit.
Automatic registration Gigaset C34 to
Gigaset C340
Important: The handset must not already
be registered to any base unit.
Registering the handset to the Gigaset
C340 base is automatic.
¤ Place the handset in the charging cra-
dle of the base unit with its display facing forward.
Automatic registration takes around one
minute. While this is happening, Register-
ing appears in the display and the name of
the base, Base 1, flashes. The handset is
given the lowest available internal
number (1–6). When the handset has registered, this number appears in the display, e.g. INT 1. This means that the handset has been allocated the first internal
number. If all internal numbers 1–6 have
been assigned (six handsets are registered
on a base), the number 6 is overwritten if
that handset is in idle status.
Notes:
– Automatic registration is not possible when
the base on which you wish to register the
handset is being used to make a call.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– The name of the handset can be changed
(page 26).

The room monitor call to an external
number stops after approx. 90 seconds.
The room monitor call to an internal
number (handset) stops after approx.
3 minutes (depending on the base).
During the call, all keys are locked except
the end call key. The room monitor
function remains active after you end the
call. It must be activated again if the handset has been switched off.

Using several handsets
When the room monitor function is active,
incoming calls to the handset are indicated without a ring tone and only
appear on the display. The display and
keys are not illuminated and advisory
tones are also turned off.
Caution!
– The connection to which the room monitor
is diverted must not be blocked by an acti-
vated answering machine.
– Ideally the handset should be positioned 1
to 2 metres away from the baby. The micro-
phone must be directed towards the baby.
– You should always check the operation
of the room monitor before use. For
example, test its sensitivity. Check the
connection if you are diverting the room
monitor to an outside number.
– If you answer an incoming call this will
interrupt the room monitor.
– The active room monitor function consider-
ably reduces the operating time of the
handset. Place the handset in the base if
necessary. This ensures that the battery
does not discharge.
