Safety precautions

Warning

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use. Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to

your children.

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

Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries ( could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.

Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market. However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.

Do not install the base or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and charging cradle are not splashproof (

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint shops).

If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user guide.

Please remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service department, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

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

Gigaset C590/C595 – more than just a telephone

Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home. The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very

simple to use.

It can do a whole lot more:

u Store anniversaries such as birthdays in your phone and it will remind you

of them in advance.

u Allocate important people to one of six VIP groups so you can identify impor-

tant calls from the ringtone and the colour of the allocated VIP group.

u If you only want to accept calls when you can see the number, you can set

your phone to only ring when the phone number is transferred.

u You can assign important numbers to the number keys on your handset.

The number is then dialled by simply pressing the key.

u Set the display to show in large print to increase readability during certain

important situations (e.g. in the directory and in lists).

u Set the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only the

most important functions (standard mode) or all functions are displayed (expert mode).

u Gigaset Green Home – be environmentally aware when using your phone.

SMS mailboxes

The general mailbox is the default setting. Anyone can access this mailbox and it cannot be protected by a PIN. You can additionally set up three personal mail- boxes and protect these with a PIN. Each mailbox is identified by a name and a "mailbox ID" (a kind of extension number).

Please note:

u If you operate a number of devices

(bases) with SMS functionality on a single phone line, then each SMS mailbox ID may only occur once. In this case you must also change the preset ID of the general mailbox ("0").

u You can only use personal mailboxes if

your service provider supports this function. You can tell whether this is the case by the addition of a star (*) to the number of a (preset) SMS centre.

u If you have forgotten your mailbox PIN,

you can reset it by restoring default settings of the base. This will delete all SMS messages from all mailboxes.

Using a handset as a room monitor

If the room monitor is activated, a previously saved destination number is called as soon as a set noise level is reached. You can save an internal or external number in your handset as the destination number. All of the handset keys are deactivated, with the exception of the display keys.

The room monitor call to an external number is terminated after approximately 90 seconds. The room monitor call to an internal number (handset) stops after approx. 3 minutes (depending on the base). When the room monitor is activated, all keys are locked except the end call key. The handset's speaker is muted.

When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indicated without a ringtone 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!

u 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 external number.

u When the function is switched on,

the handset's operating time is considerably reduced. If necessary, place the handset in the base/charging cradle. This ensures that the battery does not run down.

u Ideally the handset should be posi-

tioned 1 to 2 metres away from the baby. The microphone must be directed towards the baby.

u The connection to which the room

monitor is diverted must not be blocked by an activated answering machine.

Care

Wipe the base station, charging cradle and handset with a damp cloth (do not use solvent) or an antistatic cloth.

Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset has come into contact with liquid:

1. Switch off the handset and remove the battery pack immediately.

2. Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.

3. Pat all parts dry, then place the handset with the battery compartment open and the keypad facing down in a dry, warm place for at least 72 hours (not in a microwave, oven etc.).

4. Do not switch on the handset again until it is completely dry.

When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able to use it again.
