Gigaset C470 IP/C475 IP – More than just a telephone
Your phone lets you make calls both via the fixed line network and (cost effectively) via the
Internet (VoIP) without using a PC. – Your phone can do much more besides:
u Press a button each time you make a call to indicate whether you want to call via the
fixed line network or the Internet (page 26).
u Register up to six handsets on your base station. With your base station, you can simul-
taneously conduct two calls via VoIP and one call via the fixed line network.
u Multiline: Create up to six VoIP accounts with different VoIP providers. Together with
your fixed line number and the Gigaset.net number, your phone can then be reached
via up to eight different phone numbers.
u Assign each handset its own VoIP number as a send and receive number. If a member
of your family is called on their VoIP number, only their handset will ring (page 130).
u You can also use the VoIP accounts with different providers for cost control purposes.
When dialling, specify the VoIP connection/the VoIP account you want to use for its
lower rates (page 27).
u Setting dialling plans for phone numbers or area codes enables you to automate the
selection of the most cost-effective VoIP connection (page 135).
u Determine which of your phone numbers should be answered by the Gigaset C475 IP
answer machine (page 131).
u Use Gigaset.net for VoIP calls. Connect your phone to the mains power supply and the
Internet, and enjoy free phone calls on Gigaset.net – without making any further settings (page 35).
u Configure the phone connection for VoIP without a PC. Your phone's connection assist-
ant downloads general data about your VoIP provider from the Internet and guides you
through entering your personal data (VoIP/SIP account). This makes it easy for you to
start using VoIP (page 16).
u If necessary, make any further VoIP settings on a PC. The phone features a Web interface
(Web configurator) that can be accessed via your PC's Web browser (page 113).
u Use instant messaging on your handset. Go online and see which of your messenger
contacts (buddies) are also online. Exchange SMS messages with your buddies or simply
give them a call (page 76). A free messenger account is already set up for you on the
Gigaset.net Jabber server (page 140).
u Let your phone tell you, without requiring a PC, about new e-mail messages in your
mailbox (page 73). Use your handset to delete old e-mail messages from your mailbox.
u Make sure your phone is always up-to-date. Keep yourself informed about firmware
updates on the Internet and download them onto your phone (page 105).
Your Gigaset C470 IP/C475 IP has a protected operating system that offers increased security
against viruses from the Internet.
With VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), your calls are not made via a fixed connection as
in the telephone network, but rather they are transmitted via the Internet in the form of
data packets.
You can take advantage of all the benefits of VoIP with your phone:
u You can make cost-effective calls in high voice quality with callers on the Internet, the
fixed line network or the mobile phone network.
u VoIP providers will give you personal numbers, with which you can be reached from the
Internet, the fixed line network and any mobile phone network.
To be able to use VoIP, you need the following:
u A broadband Internet connection (e.g. DSL) with flat rate (recommended) or volume-
based price.
u Internet access, i.e. you need a router that will connect your phone to the Internet.
You can find a list of recommended routers on the Internet at:
www.siemens.com/gigasetcustomercare
Once you are on the Web page, open the FAQ page and select "Gigaset C470 IP" or
"Gigaset C475 IP". Search for "Router", for example.
u Access to the services of a VoIP provider. You can open up to six accounts with different
u one Gigaset C470 IP/C475 IP base station
u one Gigaset C47H handset
u one mains adapter for the base station
u one charging cradle incl. mains adapter
u one phone cable
u one Ethernet cable (LAN cable)
u two batteries
u one battery cover
u one belt clip
u one quick guide
Firmware updates:
Whenever there are new or improved functions for your Gigaset C470 IP/C475, base station firmware
updates will be made available for you to download to your phone (page 105). If this results in operational changes to your phone, a new version of this user guide will be published on the Internet at
www.siemens.com/gigaset

Making settings for VoIP telephony
Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to phone any other numbers on the Internet, the
fixed line network or the mobile phone network, you need the services of a VoIP provider
who supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Precondition: You have registered with such a VoIP provider (e.g. via your PC) and set up
at least one VoIP account.
The following phone settings are necessary in order for you to use VoIP. You can obtain the
following information from your VoIP provider:
u Your user name with the VoIP provider, if this is required by the VoIP provider
u You r regi s tratio n name
u Your password with the VoIP provider
u VoIP provider general settings
The connection assistant will help you with the settings.
Starting the connection assistant
Precondition: The base station is connected to the mains power supply and a router. Your
router is connected to the Internet (page 16).
Tip: Leave VoIP activated as the default connection for your telephone (default setting,
page 105). The telephone then attempts to establish a connection directly to your VoIP provider's server after the connection assistant is closed. If incorrect/incomplete information
means that the connection cannot be established, messages will be displayed (page 19).
Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assi gnmen t of the I P address. In order for you r rou ter to "rec ognise" the phone, dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e. the
router's DHCP server is activated. Turn to page 109 to find out how to assign your phone a static IP
address if necessary.
As soon as the handset battery is sufficiently charged, the message key f on the handset
will flash (approx. 20 minutes after you have put the handset in the charging cradle). Press
the message key f to start the connection assistant.
You will see the following display:
Connection Assist.

Gigaset.net directory" on page 18.
Please note:
The connection assistant will also start automatically if you try to establish a connection via the Internet before you have made the necessary settings.
You can also call up the connection assistant at any time via the menu (page 107).
Downloading VoIP provider data
The phone establishes a connection with the Siemens server on the Internet. Various profiles with general access data for different VoIP providers can be downloaded here.
After a brief period you will see the following display:

The necessary general access data for your VoIP provider will be downloaded and saved on
the phone.
If the data for your VoIP provider is not available for download, press the ” display key twice. You
can then carry out the following steps with the connection assistant.
You must then make the settings needed for the VoIP provider using the Web configurator
(page 121). Your VoIP provider will supply you with this data.
Entering user data for your first VoIP account
Enter the VoIP user data for the first VoIP account. Your VoIP provider will supply you with
this data.
You can enter five additional VoIP accounts (VoIP phone numbers) via the Web configurator at a later
stage (page 120). Your phone (together with your fixed line number) can then be reached on up to
seven different phone numbers. You can assign the phone numbers to the individual handsets that
are registered with the base station as send and receive numbers (page 130).

With Gigaset.net you can call other Gigaset.net users directly over the Internet free of
charge, without setting up an account with a VoIP provider and without making any further
settings. You can find Gigaset.net subscribers by carrying out a name search in the
Gigaset.net directory (page 36).
Enter the name that you would like to be listed under in the Gigaset.net direc-
tory and press
A connection to the Gigaset.net server is established.
If there is already an entry under this name, you will receive a message to this effect and
you will be asked to enter a name again.
If an entry in the Gigaset.net directory is successful, the message "Your user name is success-
fully added to Gigaset.net!" is displayed briefly.
If the attempt to create the entry fails (e.g. because the phone is not connected to the Internet), a
message to this effect is displayed briefly (see page 20). You can then create the entry later via the
Gigaset.net directory (see page 38).
§OK§. The name may contain up to 25 characters.
Completing the VoIP settings
After the entries have been completed, the handset reverts to idle status.
If all the settings are correct and if the phone can establish a connection to the VoIP server,
then the internal name of the handset will be displayed (example):

You can now use your phone to make calls via the fixed line network and the Internet.
Callers can reach you on your fixed line number and your VoIP number.
Please note:
To ensure that you can always be reached via the Internet, the router must be permanently connected
to the Internet.
No connection to the Internet/VoIP server
If one of the following messages is displayed instead of the internal name after the connection assistant is closed, errors have occurred:
u Server not accessible!
u Provider registration failed!
Below you will find possible causes and measures you can take.
¤ Check the cable connection between the base station and the router (the LED on the
base station must light up) and the connection between the router and the Internet connection.
¤ Check whether the phone is connected to the LAN.
– It may not have been possible to dynamically assign an IP address to the phone
or
– You have assigned a static IP address to the phone that has either already been
assigned to another LAN subscriber or does not belong to the router's address block.
¤ Press the paging key on the base station. The IP address appears on the handset dis-
play.
¤ Press the talk key on the handset to end paging call.
¤ Start the Web configurator with the IP address.
¤ If no connection can be established, change the settings on the router (activate DHCP
server) or the phone's IP address.
Provider registration failed!
u Your personal data for registering with the VoIP provider may have been entered incom-
pletely or incorrectly.
¤ Check your entries for Username, Authent. Name and Authent. Password. In particular,
check your use of upper and lower case.
To do this, open the following menu on your handset:
¢ Ð Settings¢ Telephony ¢ VoIP (Enter system PIN) ¢ Provider Registr.

incorrectly.
¤ Start the Web configurator.
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢Telephony ¢Connections.
¤ Click the Edit button next to the first VoIP connection.
¤ Edit the server address where necessary.
Please note:
If port forwarding is activated on your router for the ports that have been registered as the SIP port
(Standard 5060) and the RTP port (Standard 5004), it is advisable to deactivate DHCP and assign the
phone a static IP address (otherwise you may not be able to hear the other party during VoIP calls):
– Assign IP address via the handset menu:
v
£ Ð Settings£Base £Local Network
Or
– Assign IP address via the Web configurator:
¥ Open the following Web page: Settings£IP Configuration.
¥ Select IP address type.
Please note that the IP address and subnet mask depend on the router's address block.
You must also enter the standard gateway and DNS server. The IP address for the router is generally
entered here.
By using a belt clip and headset (optional) you can easily make your handset a constant
companion both inside the building and in its immediate vicinity.
Attaching the belt clip
The handset has notches at the top and on each side (level with the loudspeaker) for
attaching the belt clip.
¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the handset so that the protrusions on the belt clip
engage with the notches.
Connection socket for headset
You can connect various headset types (with 2.5 mm jack connector), including HAMA
Plantronics M40, MX100 and MX150.
A compatibility list of tested headsets is available on the Internet at:
www.plantronics.com/productfinder
External calls are calls made via the public telephone network (fixed line network) or via
the Internet (VoIP). You generally decide which connection type you want to use for a specific call when you dial the number.
Please note:
– You can conduct up to three separate external calls via your base station (using different hand-
sets): two calls via VoIP and one via the fixed line network.
– You can define dialling plans for certain numbers or area codes by determining the connection
and therefore the billing method to be used (cost control, see page 135) when these numbers are
dialled.
– Dialling with the directory (page 43), quick dial keys (page 97) or last number redial list (page 47)
saves repeated keying of phone numbers. You can modify or add to these numbers on a call-tocall basis.
– If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed line network, you may also have to dial the area code for
local calls (depending on the VoIP provider). You can avoid having to dial your own area code by
entering it into the configuration (page 134). Your area code is then added automatically when
you make local calls.
Use the talk key to select the type of connection and make the call
By briefly pressing or pressing and holding the call key c, you can determine the type of
connection for the call you want to make (fixed line network or VoIP).
Precondition: You enter the number without a line suffix (page 27) and have not defined
any dialling plans for this number.
~cEnter number (without suffix) and briefly press/press and hold the talk key.
A default connection is established on your phone (fixed line network or VoIP, page 105).
¤ Briefly press the talk key c if you want to make a call via this default connection.
¤ Press and hold the talk key c if you want to make the call via the other connection
type.
If you have assigned a number of VoIP numbers to your phone, you can define which VoIP
number (VoIP account) is used for external calls from each specific handset (handset send
number, page 130).
Please note:
If you are using a GAP compatible handset other than the Gigaset handsets C47H, S67H, S68H,
SL37H, S45 and C45, every call will be made via the standard connection, even if you press and hold
the call key. If you want to use the non-default connection to make a call, enter a star (*) at the end
of the number.

Making an external callMaking calls with VoIP and the fixed line network
Selecting the connection type using display keys and making a call
Precondition: The display keys on your handset have been assigned §FixedLine§ and/or §IP§
(page 97).
§FixedLine§ / §IP§
Press the display key to select the connection type.
~sEnter the number or select from the directory.
c / d Press the talk or handsfree key.
The number will always be called via the selected connection type.
Please note:
If you have dialled a number with a suffix #1 to #6 via VoIP (§IP§), your call will be made through the
VoIP account assigned to the suffix. If you have entered #0, no suffix or an invalid suffix, your call will
be made through the handset's VoIP send number. Suffixes are ignored for calls made through the
fixed line network (§FixedLine§).
Select and dial a connection via your line suffix
You can configure up to six VoIP numbers on your phone in addition to the fixed line network number and the Gigaset.net number. A (line) suffix i s assigned to each number (line)
of your phone:
u the fixed line number has the suffix #0
u VoIP numbers have the suffixes #1 to #6 (page 121)
u and the Gigaset.net number has the suffix #9
~ Enter the number of the party you wish to call (e.g. 1234567).
~ Add the suffix for the connection (your phone number) through which you
wish to make and pay for the call, e.g. # for the 1st VoIP number in your
configuration.
cPress the talk key.
The connection is always made via the line with the assigned suffix, regardless of whether
you press the call key c briefly or press and hold.
Please note:
– If you enter a suffix that is not configured in your phone, your call will be made via the handset's
send number (page 130).
– If you press the display key §FixedLine§ before dialling the number, your call will be made via the
fixed line network – irrespective of the line suffix.
– If you press the display key §IP§ before dialling the number, your call will be made via VoIP, even if
you enter the suffix #0 (fixed line network).
Entering an IP address
You can also dial an IP address instead of a phone number using VoIP.
¤ Press the star key * to separate the sections of the IP address
(e.g. 149*246*122*28).
¤ If necessary press the hash # key to attach the SIP port number of the person you are
calling to the IP address (e.g. 149*246*122*28#5060).
You cannot dial IP addresses using a line suffix.
27
Making calls with VoIP and the fixed line networkEnding a call
You can use the Web configurator to block certain numbers or to define which of your
numbers (fixed line network, VoIP) should be used to call specific numbers (Dialling Plans,
see page 135).
If you enter a number that has a defined dialling plan, the call will be made via the line
defined in the dialling plan – regardless of whether the call key is pressed briefly or pressed
and held. Any automatic area code will not be prefixed to the number.
Emergency numbers
Dialling plans for emergency numbers (e.g. the local emergency service number) are factory-set for certain countries. Emergency calls are then always made via the fixed line network.
You cannot delete or deactivate these dialling plans. However, you can change the connection through which each emergency number should be called (e.g. if the phone is not connected to the fixed line network). You must make sure that the VoIP provider for the
selected connection supports emergency calls.
If your phone does not have default dialling plans for emergency calls, you should define
the rules yourself (page 135). Assign them to a connection that you know supports emergency calls. Emergency calls are always supported by fixed line networks.
Please note: If no rules are defined for emergency numbers and you have programmed an
automatic local area code (page 134), the code will be prefixed to emergency numbers as
soon as they are dialled via a VoIP connection.
Please note:
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock is activated. Before dialling, press and hold
the hash key
#, to release the keypad lock.
Ending a call

Using the Internet (VoIP) is the preferred cost-effective way of making calls.
You can also use your phone's cost control function for calls to fixed line or mobile phone
networks. Open accounts with various VoIP providers who offer favourable rates for calls
to other networks. In the phone configuration, define the best VoIP connections (account),
e.g. for specific regional, national and mobile network prefixes, to be used when calls are
made (Dialling Plans, page 135). Or define the VoIP connection to be used when dialling the
number (dialling with line suffix, page 27).
If you are using your fixed line network to make a call, choose a network provider that
offers particularly favourable rates (call-by-call). You can manage call-by-call numbers in
the call-by-call list

Operating the base station answer machineOperation via the handset
You can operate the answer machine that is integrated in the base station via the handset
or via remote operation (other phone/mobile phone). You can record your own announcement message or advisory message via the handset.
Receive numbers
You can use your phone's Web configurator to set which of your phone numbers your
answer machine is to accept as soon as it is switched on (page 131). You can assign your
phone any amount of phone numbers as receive numbers (VoIP, fixed line network,
Gigaset.net).
All calls accepted by the answer machine are stored in sequence in the answer machine
independently of the receive number and displayed in the same answer machine list.
Any registered handset to which at least one receive number from the answer machine has
been assigned as a send or receive number can access the answer machine list (page 130).
After a new phone number is configured (a new VoIP account), it is first assigned to the
answer machine as a receive number.
Parallel calls
If a caller is connected to the answer machine and a second call for the answer machine
comes in on a different line (fixed line network or VoIP), the second caller hears the dialling
tone until the connection to the first caller has ended. The answer machine will then accept
the second call.
Announce only/answer and record mode
You can use the answer machine in two different modes.
u In Ans. & Record mode, the caller hears the announcement and can then leave a mes-
sage.
u In Announce Only mode, the caller hears your announcement but cannot leave a mes-
sage.

Please note:
Many e-mail providers operate standard spam protection measures. E-mail messages classified as
spam are stored in a separate folder and are therefore not shown on the list of incoming mail.
Some e-mail providers allow you to deactivate spam protection or show spam e-mails on the list of
incoming mail.
Other e-mail providers may send a message to the Inbox when a new spam e-mail is received. This is
to inform you that a suspected spam e-mail has been received.
Date and sender of this mail are repeatedly updated, so that it is always displayed as a new message.

The messenger on your phone makes instant messaging possible (immediate message
transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP Messenger (Jabber).
Instant messaging refers to communication between "friends" on the Internet. Subscribers
exchange short messages, which are forwarded immediately. This gives rise to a flowing
"conversation" similar to chatting.
The precondition for this form of communication is that both subscribers have a connection to the messenger server of the same instant messaging provider. Therefore, both
subscribers must be "online". The messenger server forwards the messages to the recipient.
The subscribers to instant messaging are called buddies.
Most messenger servers allow you to create what are known as buddy lists. You can store
the buddies you want to chat to in the buddy list.
The messenger server informs you as soon as one of your buddies comes online or goes
offline. Offline means that the buddy has disconnected from the messenger server.
In addition to this, each buddy can determine their own (communication) status (state of
presence, see page 79), from which buddies can tell whether they are in the mood to chat
or wish to remain undisturbed.
The Web configurator on your phone gives you the following options:
u Go online (page 77).
u Display the list of your contacts (buddies) on the handset that you previously created
on the PC. This will indicate for each buddy whether they are available (online) and
ready to chat (state of presence, see page 79).
u Exchange messages with your buddies. Your handset notifies you about new messages
with a flashing message key f and a beep.
u Call your buddies directly from your buddy list (page 84).
Preconditions for instant messaging:
u You have registered with an instant messaging provider via the Web browser on your PC
and (optionally) agreed a Web name (nickname).
u You have created a buddy list via the messenger client on the PC.
u You have saved the messenger server address and your access data for the messenger
server (user ID, password) in the phone using the Web configurator (page 139). The
phone needs the data to establish a connection with the messenger server.
Please note:
If your instant messaging provider doesn't support the phone's messenger client, then you can open
an account with an open Jabber server and use the Web configurator to enter its address in your
phone. Many of these Jabber servers offer gateways to other messenger servers (e.g. AOL, ICQ, MSN,
Yahoo!).
You can find a list of Jabber servers and an overview of the gateways to other messenger servers on
the Internet at
http://www.jabber.org
You can find information on setting up a Jabber account with connections from ICQ, MSN or Yahoo
on the Internet, e.g. at: http://web.swissjabber.ch
When you go online, your buddy list will be displayed on the handset and you will receive
messages from your buddies.
Only one of the handsets connected to the base station can connect to the messenger
server. You can then only "chat" on this handset.
An external call will interrupt the "chat", but you will still be online. You can continue your
chat after you end or reject the call.
Precondition: You have saved the messenger server address and your access data for the
messenger server (user ID and password) in the phone using the Web configurator
(page 139).

u Buddy messages are the "instant messages" you receive from your buddies. You can
answer the messages.
u Info messages are special information from the provider. They are forwarded to you,
but you cannot reply to them.
Example: With some messaging providers you receive an info message when another
subscriber tries to add you to their buddy list. You are prompted to check the messages
on the messenger client on your PC.
Via the messenger client on your PC you can agree to the action or refuse permission.
Without your agreement, the other subscriber cannot add you to their buddy list.

or
u You are reading a message from a buddy
c / d Press and release/hold the talk or handsfree key.
The phone will try to establish a VoIP/fixed line connection.
The first number that is found on the vCard will be dialled.
Some fixed line network providers and VoIP providers offer answer machines on the network – network mailboxes.
You can use the relevant network mailbox if you have requested it from your fixed line network or VoIP provider.
The network mailbox only accepts incoming calls made via the relevant line (fixed line network or corresponding VoIP phone number). To record all calls, you should therefore set up
network mailboxes for both the fixed line network and for your VoIP connections.
Please note:
You can only set up fast access to one of the network mailboxes.
You can assign different quick dial numbers (e.g. the keys
tional network mailboxes (page 97). You must assign the quick dial numbers to every handset that is
registered.
Configuring fast access for the network mailbox
You can use fast access to make direct calls to a network mailbox or the integrated Gigaset
C475 IP answer machine.
Gigaset C470 IP: Fast access is set for the network mailbox. You only need to enter the
number of a network mailbox.
Gigaset C475 IP: Fast access is set for the integrated answer machine. You can configure a
network mailbox instead. Ask your network provider about this.
The number is usually dialled via the default connection.
Tip: A fixed line network mailbox should always be controlled via the fixed line network
connection. If VoIP is set as the default connection on your phone, you have the following
options:
u Add a star (*) to the end of the number for the network mailbox. The connection is then
established via the fixed line network.
u Enter the number with line suffix #0 for the fixed line network.
u Define a corresponding dialling plan (page 135).

ment.
Please note:
If you have set an automatic area code (page 134), the area code is also prefixed to the number of
the network mailbox if it does not start with 0 and is dialled via VoIP.
If the number does not begin with 0, please ask your VoIP provider. A network mailbox can frequently
be accessed via an alternative phone number (with area code) too.
Network mailbox message
The way in which you are informed of new messages in the network mailbox depends on
the relevant fixed line network or VoIP provider.
You can register up to six handsets to your base station.
Please note:
– If a number of handsets are registered on your base station, you can simultaneously make two
calls via the Internet and one via the fixed line network Up to two additional internal connections
are also possible.
– Selecting the connection via the talk key (page 26) is not supported on GAP handsets. Therefore,
if you enter a number without a line suffix and without defining a dialling plan for the phone
number, it will be dialled via Default Line (page 105). If you enter a "*" (star) at the end of the phone
number, it will be dialled via the non-default connection.
– After registration, all the phone numbers for the phone will be assigned to the handset as receive
numbers. It will use the fixed line network number and the first VoIP number as send numbers.
For how to change the assignments, see page 130.
Registering another Gigaset C47H handset on the Gigaset C470 IP/C475 IP

Using a handset as a room monitorUsing several handsets
If the room monitor is activated, a previously stored destination number is called as soon
as a set noise level is reached in the room.
You can save an internal or external number in your handset as the destination number.
The room monitor call to an external number stops after around 90 seconds. The room
monitor call to an internal number (handset) stops after approx. 3 minutes (depending on
the base station). During use as a room monitor, all keys are barred except for the end call
key a. The speaker of the handset is muted.
When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indicated without a ringer tone and are only shown on the screen. The display and keypad are not illuminated and advisory tones are also turned off.
If you accept an incoming call, the room monitor is suspended for the duration of the call,
but the function remains activated.
If you deactivate then reactivate the handset, the room monitor remains activated.
Warning!
– You should always check the operation of the room monitor before use. For example, test
its sensitivity. Check the connection if you are forwarding the room monitor to an external
number.
– When the function is switched on, the handset's operating time is severely reduced. If necessary,
place the handset in the charging cradle. This ensures that the batteries do not run down.
– Ideally the handset should be positioned 1 to 2 metres away from the baby. The microphone must
be directed towards the baby.
– The connection to which the room monitor is forwarded must not be blocked by an activated
answer machine.
