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.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Use only the cables supplied for fax, ISDN, LAN and receiver connection and connect
these to the intended port only.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the
technical conditions in your particular environment e.g., doctor's surgery.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or shower room. The phone is not splashproof.
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 telephones from use or have them repaired by our Service team,
as they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
u Please note that only terminals that are operated in-house (inside buildings) may be con-
nected to ISDN connections.
u Not all functions described in this user guide are available in all countries and with all pro-
viders.

Firmware updates
This user guide describes the functions of your base from firmware
version 56.00.
Whenever there are new or improved functions for your Gigaset, firmware
updates are made available for you to download to your base (
If this results in operational changes for using your base, a new version of this
user guide or the necessary amendments will be published on the Internet at
www.gigaset.com
Select the product to open the relevant product page for your base, where you
will find a link to the user guide.
To find out what version of firmware is currently loaded (
Setting up the base
The base is 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.
Please note
If you wish to operate handsets from the base, consider 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 85).
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.
First steps

.
¢ page 122).
Warning
u Never expose the telephone to any of the following: heat sources, direct sun-
light or other electrical appliances.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.

4. Connecting the base with a router (Internet) or PC
Your base features a LAN connection, via which you can connect the base to a
router or PC.
It is at your discretion as to whether to connect the base to a router and thus the
Internet. However, you will require this connection if you wish to use the following
features with your base:
u You wish to be notified as soon as new software is available for your base on the
Internet.
u The date and time on your base should be updated by a time server on the
Internet.
u You want to use info services and/or online directories on your base.
The base will have to be connected to a PC if you wish to use the following features
of your base:
u You wish to set up the base using its Web configurator.
u You wish to use the additional PC software "Gigaset QuickSync over Ethernet"
to dial numbers via the PC (e.g., numbers from the PC directory) or to load
images or melodies from the PC to your base.
For Internet access you need a router connected to the Internet via a modem (this
may be integrated in the router).
16
1. Guide the end of the Ethernet cable provided (Cat 5 with 2 RJ45 modular jacks)
from the rear through the recess in the housing.
2 Plug the jack on the Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the underside of
the base.
3 Then insert the second Ethernet cable jack into a LAN port on the router or PC.

3. Connection wizard
The connection wizard enables you to assign previously configured connections
(ISDN MSNs,
connections. Internal parties are the base, registered handsets, the answering
machine for the base as well as any FAX machine that might be connected
¢ page 99).
(
u Receive connections are numbers (connections, MSNs) on which you can be
called. Incoming calls are only forwarded to the internal parties (end devices) for
which the relevant connection is assigned as receive connection.
u Send connections are the numbers (MSNs) that are sent to the called party. The
network provider calculates charges based on the send connections. You can
assign each internal party a number or the associated connection (MSN) as a
permanent send connection.
u Each connection (number) of your phone can be both a send as well as a receive
connection. You can assign each connection to several internal parties as send
and/or receive connection. It may only be assigned to an answering machine as
a receive connection.
Default assignment
All configured connections are assigned as receive connections to the base, the
registered handsets and the local answering machine 1 at registration/start-up.
All devices are assigned the first MSN in the configuration (MSN1) as the send connection. If no MSNs are configured, the main number of the ISDN connection is
used.

First steps
Calls Time
Setting the date and time
There are three methods of setting the date and time:
u The base updates the date and time from the ISDN network the first time you
make an outgoing, external call.
u You can configure your base so that once the base is connected to the Internet,
the date and time is transferred from a time server.
You can activate/deactivate the synchronisation with a time server via the Web
configurator. Detailed information can be found in the Web configurator's user
guide on the enclosed CD.
u You can set the date and time manually via the base menu or one of the regis-
tered handsets (
To ensure you have the correct time for incoming calls and to use the alarm clock
and calendar, the date and time must be set.
¢ page 109).
Setting the date and time manually
If the date and time have not been set, the time will flash in the base's idle display
(00:00) and
§Time§ is displayed above the right display key.
¤ Press the key under §Time§ on the display screen.
Enter day, month and year as an 8-digit number via the keypad,
e.g., Q4QO2QQ for 04.09.2010. This overwrites the dis-
played date.
¤ Press down on control key s to scroll to the time entry line.
¤ Enter the hours and minutes in 4-digit format via the keypad,
e.g., QM5for 07:15 am.
