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, fixed line, 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 the analogue TAE/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 109).

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 139).

¢ page 151).

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.

First steps

Connecting the base

The following diagram is an overview of all connections for your base. The individual connections are described in detail below. In order for you to make calls on your phone via the fixed line and VoIP, you need to connect the base to the fixed line and Internet (see diagram below).

Follow the steps in the order given below:

1. Connect the receiver to the base. 2 Connect the base to the telephone network (analogue fixed line or ISDN). 3 Connect the base to the mains power supply. 4 Connect the base to the router for accessing the Internet (via router and modem

or via router with integrated modem) and for configuring the base via the

Web configurator. 5 You can connect a PC to the base via the second LAN socket LAN2 (optional) –

e.g., for connecting the PC to the router. The base takes on the task of a switch. 6 Connect the base to a fax machine ( 7 Connect a wire-bound headset to the base.

For instructions on using the headset see page 124, page 52 and page 54.

For instructions on connecting and using a Bluetooth headset (see page 117,

page 52 and page 54).

¢ page 123).

First steps

Underside of

the base

1. Connecting the receiver to the base

1. Insert the jack, which can be found on the longer straight end of the connection

cable, into the connection port marked with the ^ icon on the underside of

the base. 2 Place the straight part of the cable in the cable recess provided. 3 Insert the other jack on the connection cable into the port on the receiver.

First steps

Underside of

the base

2. Connecting the base to the telephone network

1. Pass one end of the phone cable from behind through the recess in the housing.

– Use the 8-pin cable with 2 mini western jacks 8/8 if you wish to connect the

phone to the ISDN network (

– Use the TAE connection cable with RJ11 plug to connect to the analogue

fixed line (

2 Plug the telephone cable into the port marked with the ] icon on the under-

side of the base. 3 Then connect the telephone cable to the ISDN or fixed line connection.

Your Gigaset telephone automatically detects which line it is connected to and the installation wizard later prompts you to make all the necessary settings for the current connection (

¢ page 10, cable 6).

¢ page 18).

¢ page 10, cable 5).

3. Connecting the base to the mains power supply

1. Insert the small jack on the power cable from the rear into the recess in

the housing. 2 Plug the jack into the port marked with the \ icon on the underside of

the base. 3 Then connect the power cable to the mains power supply.

Warning

u Keep the power adapter plugged in at all times for operation, as the base

does not work without a mains connection.

u Use only the power and telephone cables supplied. Pin connections on tel-

ephone cables can vary (pin connections

¢ page 98).

¢ page 154).

First steps

4. Connecting the base with a router (Internet) or PC

Your base features two LAN connections, via which you can connect the base to a router and/or PC.

Connection to a router is required for Internet telephony VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). You can set up and configure up to six accounts (VoIP phone numbers) from one or several VoIP provider(s) on the base.

Your base also needs to be connected to the router for the following features on your phone:

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 (via a router or directly) 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).

Please note

For telephony via the Internet, you need a broadband Internet connection (e.g., DSL) with flat rate (recommended) or volume rate and a router that connects your phone to the Internet. You can find a list of recommended routers on the Internet at:

www.gigaset.com/service From here, go to the FAQ page and select your Gigaset IP telephone. Search for

"Router", for example.

First steps

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.

You are now able to establish VoIP connections within Gigaset.net

2. IP wizard: Making VoIP settings

You will see the following display:

Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to phone any other numbers on the Internet, the fixed line or the mobile network, you need the services of a VoIP provider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.

Prerequisite: You have registered with a VoIP provider (e.g., via your PC) and set up at least one VoIP account (IP account).

To use VoIP, you now need to enter the access data for your VoIP account. You will receive all the necessary data from your VoIP provider. This will include:

Either:

u You r user name

(if required by the VoIP provider). This is the user name of your IP account (caller ID), frequently identical to your phone number.

u Your authentication name or

u The (login) password registered

with the VoIP provider

u General settings for your VoIP pro-

vider (server addresses etc.)

Or:

u An auto configuration code

(activation code)

Your Gigaset phone's IP wizard can help you make these entries.

Please note

You can configure up to six VoIP connections. In the phone setup process (no VoIP connection has been configured yet), you configure one VoIP connection. You can configure additional VoIP connections later with the IP wizard
