Gigaset C300/C300A– your high-quality accessory
Congratulations on your purchase of this latest generation Gigaset.
Your Gigaset can do a lot more than just make calls:
Directory for up to 250 entries
Save phone numbers and names to the directory (¢ page 30). You can designate important
entries as VIPs (Very Important Persons). VIP calls are then recognised by their ringer and their
colour in the directory (¢ page 31).
If you don't (always) want it to ring
Use time control for calls (¢ page 51) or ensure that all calls from a withheld number are not
signalled (¢ page 51).
Other practical information
Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢ page 31), use the shortcut function (¢ page 31) and adjust the colour and contrast of the display to your requirements
(¢ page 49).

Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
$
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on
page 58, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment, e.g., doctor's surgery.
If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to
external sources of high frequency energy. Please refer to the "Ap pendix" chapter for
the specifications of this Gigaset product.
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 interference in analogue hearing aids. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and
charger are not splashproof (¢ page 58).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint
shops).
If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.
Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service, as these could
interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
u Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
u The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to trans-
mit emergency calls.

Setting up the base and charging cradle (if included)
The base and charging cradle are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature
range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤ Set up the base at a central point in the building on a level, non-slip surface or
mount the base or charger on the wall (¢ page 64).
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (¢ page 45).
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the
multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the
occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
Connecting the base
¤ First, connect the telephone jack 2
and insert the cables into the cable
ducts.
¤ Then connect the power adapter 1.
Please note:
u The power adapter must always be
connected, as the phone will not
operate without a mains connection.
u Use only the power adapter and
phone cord supplied. Pin connections on telephone cables can vary
(pin connections, ¢ page 59).
u The answering machine is ready for
use approx. 15 seconds after the
base has been connected or reset.

Taking the first steps
¤ Plug the power adapter into the
plug socket 2.
¤ Connect the flat plug from the
power adapter 1.
To disconnect the plug from the charger,
press the release button 3 and disconnect

Please remove the protective film!
Inserting the battery and closing the battery cover
Use only rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications
GmbH (¢ page 58), as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and
personal injury. For example, 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.

Taking the first steps
8.5 hrs
Initial charging and discharging of the batteries
The correct charge status can only be displayed if the battery is first fully charged
and discharged.
¤ Charge the handset in the base for 8.5 hours.
The handset must only be placed in the designated Gigaset C300/C300A base
or charging cradle.
¤ After charging, remove the handset from the base and only replace it when the
batteries are fully discharged.
u The handset is pre-registered with the base. If you have purchased a model
with multiple handsets, all handsets will already be registered with the
base. You do not need to register the handset again.
u After the first battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in
the charger after every call.
u Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and reinsert them.
u The batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.
u After a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical
reasons.
