Safety precautions

Caution:

Read the safety precautions and the operating instructions before use. Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone.

Only use the main adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.

Fit only the recommended rechargeable batteries (page 36) of the same type! Do not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

‹

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.

If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the operating manual.

Dispose of the batteries and phone in accordance with environmental regulations.

Note:

Not all of the functions described in this manual are available in all countries.

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!

Preparing to use the phone

The pack contains:

u one Gigaset C340 base station, u one Gigaset C34 handset, u one power supply unit, u one telephone cord, u two batteries u one battery cover u one set of operating instructions.

ing: heat sources, direct sunlight, other electrical appliances.

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.

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).

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

¤ Set the date and time (page 7) to

ensure that incoming calls are logged with the correct time.
