GIGASET. INSPIRING CONVERSATION.
Gigaset CX590 ISDN – more than just a telephone
Gigaset CX590 ISDN – more than just a telephone
Your ISDN connection offers you two telephone lines simultaneously.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu make your
phone very simple to use.
Your phone can do a whole lot more:
u Use your Gigaset as a PABX – register up to six handsets. Assign each device its
own phone number (MSN).
u Configuring your Gigaset is easy thanks to the wizards – they determine the
MSNs for your ISDN connection (provider-specific) and help you to register
handsets and assign send and receive MSNs to the handset (¢ page 16).
u You can save anniversaries, e.g., 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 important
calls from the ringtone and the colour of the assigned VIP group.
u If you only want to accept calls when you can see the number, you can set your
handset to only ring when the phone number is transmitted.
u You can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone (quick
dial). You can then dial the number by simply pressing a key.
u Set the display to large print to increase readability in particularly important
screens (e.g., the directory and lists).
u Gigaset Green Home — be environmentally aware when using your phone.
Details about our ECO DECT products can be found at www.gigaset.com/service

Gigaset CX590 ISDN – more than just a telephone . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1
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.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Use only the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢ page 74) 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 specific location 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. This may cause 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 and charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base
and charger are not splashproof (¢ page 74).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint
shops).
If you give your phone 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 department, as
they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
Not all functions described in this user guide are available in all countries or with all network
providers.

The base is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤ Set up the base on a level, non-slip surface at a central point in the building or
mount the base on the wall (¢ page 78).
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 53).
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, marks on
the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
u Never expose the telephone to the effects 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 tel-
ephone jack 1 and
insert the cables into
the cable ducts.
¤ Then connect the
power adapter 2.
First steps
Please note:
u The power adapter
must always be connected, as the phone will not operate without a mains connection.
u Only use the power adapter and phone cord supplied.

The display is protected by a plastic film.
Please remove the protective film!
Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Only use rechargeable batteries (¢ page 74) recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH i.e., never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery, as
this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the
outer casing of the batteries could be damaged 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.
