Safety precautions

Safety precautions

Warning:

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.

Explain their contents 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 station.

Use only recommended rechargeable batteries (page 99) of the same type! This means that you must not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity, and use them in accordance with

Œthis user guide (polarity symbols can be seen in or on the handset's battery compartment, page 7).

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

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

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and base station are not splashproof (page 94).

Do not use your phone in environments where there is a risk of an explosion (e.g. paint shops.

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

All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from general household waste using the sites designated by local authorities.

If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is subject to European Directive 2002/96/EC.

The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondition for the re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact your local authority, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased the product from.

Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock is activated!

Please note:

Gigaset S450 IP – more than just a telephone

Gigaset S450 IP –

more than just a telephone

Your phone lets you make calls both via the fixed network and (cost effectively) via the Internet (VoIP) without using a PC.

And your phone can do much more besides:

uPress a button each time you make a call to indicate whether you want to call via the fixed network or the Internet (page 20).

uRegister up to six handsets on your base station. You can use your base station to make three simultaneous calls using VoIP, or one call using the fixed network and two using VoIP.

uMultiline: Set up a separate VoIP account for each member of your family with their own VoIP phone number (up to six accounts with different VoIP providers). If you include your fixed network number, your phone can be reached on up to seven different phone numbers. These can be assigned to the individual handsets. If a member of your family is called on their number, only their handset will ring.

uUse Gigaset.net for VoIP calls. Connect your phone to the power supply and the Internet, and enjoy free phone calls on Gigaset.net – no need to make any other settings (page 25).

uConfigure the phone connection for VoIP without a PC. Your phone's connection assistant 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 12).

uIf necessary, establish any further required VoIP settings on a PC.

The phone features a Web interface (Web configurator) that can be accessed via your PC's Web browser (page 72).

uAssign your own password (system PIN) to protect your device and the Web configurator from unauthorised access (page 65).

uSend and receive SMS messages via the fixed network (page 36).

uUse instant messaging on your handset. Go online and see which of your messenger contacts (buddies) are online as well. Chat with your buddies, send and receive text messages, or give them a call (page 48).

uLet your phone tell you, without requiring a PC, about new e-mail messages in your mailbox (page 45).

uSave up to 150 numbers and names in your handset (page 30).

uTransfer your Outlook contacts from the PC onto your handset. Or back your handset directory up on your PC.

uYou can programme the keys of your phone with important phone numbers. The phone number is then dialled by simply pressing the respective key (page 31).

uKeep your hands free when making a call. Use the handsfree function on your handset (page 22) or use the convenient headset to make calls (page 15, accessories, not included in the scope of delivery).

uMake sure your phone is always up-to- date. Keep yourself informed about firmware updates on the Internet and load them onto your phone (page 67).

uUse your handset as an alarm clock (page 64).

Your Gigaset S450 IP has a protected operating system that offers increased security against viruses from the Internet.

Have fun using your new telephone!

VoIP – making calls via 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:

uYou can make cost-effective calls at high voice quality with subscribers on the Internet, the fixed network or the mobile phone network.

uYour VoIP provider will give you personal numbers, with which you can be reached from the Internet, the fixed network and any mobile phone network.

To be able to use VoIP, you need the following:

uA broadband Internet connection (e.g. DSL) with flat rate (recommended) or volume-based price

uInternet access, i.e. you need a router that will connect your phone to the Internet. You will find a list of recommended routers on the Gigaset S450 IP product page at:

http://www.siemens.com/gigaset

uAccess to the services of a VoIP provider. Open up to six accounts with different VoIP providers.

VoIP – making calls via the Internet

First steps

Pack contents

The pack contains:

u one Gigaset S450 IP base station u one Gigaset S45 handset

u one mains adapter for the base station u one charging cradle incl. mains adapter u one phone cord

u one Ethernet cable (LAN cable) u two batteries

u one battery cover u one belt clip

u one quick guide

Setting up the handset for use

The display is protected by a plastic film. Please remove the protective film!

Inserting the batteries

Warning:

Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices GmbH & Co.KG on page 99! This means on no account should you use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries or other battery types, otherwise serious damage to health and property cannot be ruled out, 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.

7

First steps

¤Insert the batteries the right way round (see figure).

The polarity is indicated in/on the battery compartment.

The handset switches on automatically. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Closing the battery cover

¤First, align the notches on the side of the battery cover with the protrusions on the inside of the housing.

¤Then press the cover until it clicks into place.

Opening the battery cover

¤If fitted, remove the belt clip.

¤Place your finger in the headset socket cavity and pull the battery cover upwards.

Connecting the charging cradle

Connecting the charging cradle and mounting it on the wall (if required) is described at the end of this user guide.

¤To charge the batteries, leave the handset in the charging cradle.

Please note:

Only place the handset in the charging cradle that is intended for it.

If the handset has switched itself off because the batteries are flat and if it is then placed in the charging cradle, it will switch itself on automatically.

For questions and problems see page 94.

8

Initial charging and discharging of batteries

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 charging cradle without interruption until the battery icon stops flashing in the display (around 13 hours).

¤Once the batteries are fully charged, remove the handset from the charging cradle and do not put it back again until the batteries are fully discharged.

Please note:

After the first battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in the charging cradle after every call.

Please note:

uAlways repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the batteries from the handset and reinsert them.

uThe batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.

uAfter a while the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.

Please note:

You will find explanations for the symbols and typographical conventions used in this user guide in the appendix, page 100.

First steps

Making settings for VoIP telephony

Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to phone any other users on the Internet, the fixed network or the mobile phone network, you need the services of a VoIP provider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.

Precondition: you have registered (e.g. via your PC) with a suitable VoIP provider and set up at least one VoIP account.

The following phone settings are necessary in order for you to use VoIP. You will receive all information from your VoIP provider.

uYour user name with the VoIP provider, if this is required by the VoIP provider

u Your registration 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 11).

Tip: If VoIP is activated as the default connection for your phone (default setting page 67), the phone will attempt to make a direct connection 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 14).

Please note:

Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP address. In order for your router to 'recognise' 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 69 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 (around 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.

Start assistant for entry of VoIP connection data?

No

Yes

§Yes§

Press the display key to start

 

the connection assistant.

~

Enter the system PIN (default

 

is '0000').

If you press §No§, the procedure that follows is described below.

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 68).

Downloading VoIP provider data

The phone establishes a connection with the Siemens server on the Internet. Profiles with general access data for various VoIP providers can be downloaded here.

After a brief period you will see the following display:

Select Country

Germany

England

France

Netherlands, the

ÝOK

12

q

Select country (press the con-

 

trol key up/down) and press

 

§OK§. The VoIP providers availa-

 

ble for your VoIP profile will be

 

displayed.

q

Select your VoIP provider and

 

press §OK§.

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 78). 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 use the Web configurator at a later stage to enter five further VoIP accounts (VoIP phone numbers) (page 77). Your phone (together with your fixed network 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 sending and receiving numbers (page 85).

Username:

Enter the user name and press §Save§ if this is required by your provider.

Authent. Name:

Enter the registration name and press §Save§.

Authent. Password:

Enter password and press

§Save§.

First steps

Please note:

Please note when making these entries that the VoIP user data is case sensitive. When you enter text, the first letter is capitalised by default. If necessary, press and hold the # key to switch between upper and lower case and numbers.

Entering your name in the Gigaset.net directory

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(page 25) directory.

The following appears in the handset's display:

Connection Assist.

Start assistant for Gigaset.net?

No Yes

§Yes§

Press the display key.

Enter your Gigaset.net name:

Enter the name that you would like to be listed under in the Gigaset.net directory and press §OK§. The name may contain up to 25 characters.

A connection to the Gigaset.net server is established.

If there is already an entry under this name, you 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 successfully added to Gigaset.net!" is displayed briefly.

13

First steps

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 14). You can then create the entry later via the Gigaset.net directory (see page 27).

Completing the VoIP settings

If you have made all the required entries, the message "Connection data complete" will appear on the display. The handset returns 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):

ÐV

INT 1

10.08.06 09:45

FixedLine IP

You can now use your phone to make calls via the fixed network and the Internet. Callers can reach you on your fixed network 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.

Server not accessible!

The phone has no connection to the Internet.

¤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.

¤ Find the IP address using the hand-

set menu:

v ¢Ð ¢

¢Local Network (see page 69)

¤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.Settings Base

Provider registration failed!

uYour personal data for registering with the VoIP provider may have been entered incompletely 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:

v ¢Ð Settings ¢Telephony ¢VoIP ¢Provider Registr.

(see page 69)

14

uThe server address for the VoIP server has not yet been entered, or has been entered incorrectly.

¤Start the Web configurator.

¤Open Settings ¢Telephony ¢Connections Web page.

¤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 makes sense 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):

– Via the handset menu:

v£Ð Settings £Base £Local Network

Or

 

– Via the Web configurator:

¥

Open Settings £IP Configuration

¥

Web page.

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.

First steps

Belt clip and headset

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

There are notches for attaching the belt clip on the side of the handset at the same height as the display.

¤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 use headsets with jack connectors. The following models have been tested and are therefore recommended: HAMA Plantronics M40, MX100 and MX150.

The transmission quality of other models cannot be guaranteed.

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed network

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed network

Making an external call

External calls are calls made via the public telephone network (fixed network) or via the Internet (VoIP). You determine what type of connection you want to use when you dial.

Please note:

You can use your base station to make three simultaneous external calls (on three handsets): three calls using VoIP or two calls using VoIP and one call using the fixed network.

You can define which of your VoIP phone numbers (VoIP account) are used for outgoing external VoIP calls via the handset (Number Assignment, page 85).

If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed network, you may also have to dial the area code for local calls (depending on the VoIP provider).

You can also enter the dialling code in the configuration so you do not always need to enter it for local calls (Dialing Plans,

page 87). It will then be inserted automatically for local calls.

Use the talk key to select the type of

connection and make the call

~ c

Enter number/IP address and briefly press/press and hold the talk key.

A default connection is established on your phone (fixed network or VoIP, page 67).

¤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.

Please note:

If you use a different GAP-compatible handset to the Gigaset S45, all calls will be made via the default connection, even if you press and hold the talk key . If you want to use the nondefault connection to make a call, enter a star

(*) at the end of the number.

Selecting the connection type using display keys and making a call

Precondition: The display keys on your handset are assigned to §FixedLine§ and/or §IP§ (default setting for the Gigaset S45).

§FixedLine§ / §IP§

Press the display key to select the connection type.

~ s Enter the number or select from the directory.

c / d Press the talk or handsfree key.

The number will be called via the selected connection type, regardless of whether the talk key was pressed briefly or pressed and held.

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 #key to attach the SIP port number of the person you are calling to the IP address (e.g.

149*246*122*28#5060).

Please note:

Dialling with the directory (page 30) or last number redial list (page 33) saves repeated keying of phone numbers.

You can assign a number from the directory to a key for quick dialling (page 31).

You can edit or add to any phone number selected via speed dial or from the directory and use it for the current call.

Cancelling the dialling operation

You can cancel the dialling operation with the end call key a.

20

Ending a call

a Press the end call key.

Answering a call

The handset indicates an incoming call in three ways: by ringing, by a display on the

screen and by the flashing handsfree key d.

Please note:

Only calls to receiving numbers that are assigned to your handset will be signalled (page 85).

If a phone number is not assigned to any handset as a receiving number, the calls will be signalled on all handsets.

You can accept the call by:

¤Pressing the talk key c.

¤Pressing the display key §Accept§.

¤Pressing the handsfree key d.

If the handset is in the charging cradle and the Auto Answer function is activated (page 62), the handset will take a call automatically when you lift it out of the cradle.

If the ringer tone is intrusive, press the §Silence§ display key. You can accept the call so long as it is displayed on the screen.

Calling Line Identification

When you receive a call from the Internet, the caller's number and/or the name they have specified is displayed on the screen.

When you receive a call from the fixed network, the caller's number and/or name is displayed on the screen if the following conditions are met:

uYour fixed network provider supports CLIP, CLI and CNIP:

CLI (Calling Line Identification): number of the caller is transmitted

CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation): the caller's number is displayed.

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed network

CNIP (Calling Name Identification Presentation): the caller's name is displayed

uYou have arranged CLIP or CNIP with your network provider.

uThe caller has arranged CLI with the network provider.

If the phone number is identified and the caller's number is saved in your directory, the name will be displayed from the directory.

Call display

You can use the display to decide whether the call is for your fixed network number or your VoIP number.

Please note:

If you have used the Web configurator to deactivate the Emergency calls always via fixed line function and have entered an automatic area code for VoIP calls

(page 87), the area code will also be prefixed to the emergency numbers when they are dialled via VoIP.
