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 107).
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.

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.

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).
12
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 conf igurator.
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 122, page 51 and page 53.
For instructions on connecting and using a Bluetooth headset (see page 115,
page 51 and page 53).

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.

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.
Data protection notice
When the device is connected to the router, it automatically contacts the
Gigaset support server to make it easier for you to configure the devices and to
enable communication with the Internet services.
For this purpose, every device sends the following device-specific information
once every day:
u Serial number/item number
u MAC address
u Private IP address for the Gigaset in the LAN/its port numbers
u Device name
u Software version
On the support server, this information is linked to the existing device-specific
information:
u Gigaset.net phone number
u System-related/device-specific passwords
Further information about the Gigaset.net service data saved can be found at
www.gigaset.net/privacy-policy
You are now able to establish VoIP connections within Gigaset.net

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 Your 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
login ID
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.
