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 – 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.
