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 or charging cradle.

Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 24), i.e. never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the local waste disposal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your local authority or the dealer you purchased the product from.

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 splashproof (page 20).

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.

nal number, e.g. INT 2 for internal number

2. The handset is assigned the lowest available internal number (1–6). If all internal numbers 1–6 have been assigned, number 6 is overwritten, provided the handset with the internal number 6 is in idle status.

Please note:

– Automatic registration is not possible when

the base station to which you wish to register the handset is being used to make a call.

– Each key press interrupts the automatic

registration.

– If automatic registration does not work,

you will have to register the handset manually.

Automatic registration of Gigaset C47H

If the handset does not activate automatically when the batteries are fitted, you must first charge the batteries.

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.

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). 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 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 mode is suspended for the duration of the call, but the function remains activated.

If you deactivate then reactivate the handset, the room monitor mode 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 diverting the room monitor to an outside 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 diverted must not be blocked by an activated answer machine.
