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 sta-
$
tion or charging cradle.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢ page 60), i.e. never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could 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 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 or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base station and charging cradle are not splash proof (¢ page 60).
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 base stations from use or have them repaired by our service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

Setting up the base station and charging cradle (if included)

The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C.
¤ Set up the base station and charging cradles at a central location on a flat, non-
slip surface in your house or apartment.
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base station. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside build­ings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (¢ page 41) is activated.
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.
Instructions on how to mount the base station and charging cradle to a wall, see ¢ page 66.
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 vapours.

Connecting the base station

¤ First connect the
mains adapter 1.
¤ Then connect the tel-
ephone jack 2 and insert the cables into the cableducts.
Please note:
u The mains adapter
must always be con- nected, as the phone will not operate with­out mains connection.
8
u Only use the mains adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on tele-
phone cables can vary (pin connections ¢ page 61).

Connecting the charging cradle (if included)

¤ Plug the mains adapter into the plug
socket 2.
¤ Connect the flat plug of the mains
adapter 1.
If you need to disconnect the plug from the charging cradle, press the release button 1 and disconnect the plug 2.

Please remove the protective film!

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover

Warning
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH (¢ page 60). Never use a conventional (non­rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, 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.

¤ Press the belt clip onto the back
of the handset so that the notches on the belt clip click into position.

Placing the handset in the base station and registering

First steps
If you have purchased a model with multiple handsets, repeat the registration process for each handset. Handsets are assigned the lowest available internal number (1-4). If more than one handset is registered to the base station the internal handset number appears on the display, e.g. INT 2. If the internal numbers 1–4 are already assigned to other devices, the number 4 will be overwritten.
