Safety precautions

Caution:

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use. Explain their contents to your children as well as the potential hazards associated with using the telephone.

Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the charg-

‹

ing cradle.

Only fit the recommended rechargeable batteries of the sa me typ e (page 15 ) ! In other words, do not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Fit rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity and use them according to this user guide (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compartment, page 4).

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment, for example doctor's surgery.

Do not hold the reverse side of the handset to your ear if the handset is ringing or if the handsfree function is switched on. Otherwise, you risk developing serious, permanent hearing damage.

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids. Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset

is not splash proof (page 14).

Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, for example auto paint shops.

If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user guide.

All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities. This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC. The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliances will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. This is a prerequisite for reusing and recycling used electronic and electrical equipment. More detailed information on disposal of used equipment is available from your local authority, your waste disposal service or the dealer from whom you acquired the product.

Note:

Not all of the functions described in this manual are available in all countries.

Gigaset E36 – more than just a telephone

Your phone not only enables you to store up to 100 telephone numbers (page 9) – it can do a whole lot more:

u You can programme the direct dialling

keys of your phone with important phone numbers. The number is then dialled by simply pressing a key (page 10).

u Use the handsfree function (page 7) to

keep your hands free when making a call.

u Use your handset as an alarm clock

(page 12).

A special SOS procedure is available to you when your Gigaset E36 is registered on a Gigaset E365 base station; for details see the user guide for your E365 base station.

Have fun using your new telephone!

First steps

Fitting the batteries and closing the cover

Caution:

Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH * on page 15. In other words, never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries or accumulators could be destroyed 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.

¤ Fit the batteries with the correct polar-

ity (see diagram).

The polarity is indicated in the battery compartment.

Pack contents

The packaging contains a Gigaset E36 handset, a charging cradle, a mains adapter, two batteries, a battery cover, a belt clip and a user guide.

Setting up the handset for use

Please refer to the end of this user guide for information on connecting and, if appropriate, wall-mounting the charging cradle.

¤ First align the notches on the side of

the battery cover with the protrusions

on the inside of the casing.

¤ Then press down the cover so that it

clicks into place.

Attaching the belt clip

There are notches for attaching the belt clip on the side of the handset at the same height as the display.

¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the

handset so that the protrusions on the

belt clip engage with the notches.

First steps

You can also attach a cord for carrying the handset in your hand or wearing it around your neck.

Opening the battery cover

¤ If fitted, remove the belt clip. ¤ Reach into the housing cavity and pull

the battery cover upwards.

Connection socket for headset

You will find suitable headsets on the Internet at www.plantronics.com

Registering

You have to register your Gigaset E36 on a base station before you can use it. It can be registered on up to four base stations. The registration process depends on the particular base station.

Automatically registering the Gigaset E36 on the Gigaset E360/365

Requirement: the handset must not already be registered on any base station.

Registering the handset on the Gigaset E360/365 base station occurs automatically.

¤ Place the handset in the charging cra-

dle of the base station with its display

facing forward.

You will hear a confirmation tone. Automatic registration can take up to

5 minutes. While registration is in progress the screen displays Registering . The handset is assigned the lowest unassigned internal number (1–4). If several handsets are registered on the base, the internal number is shown in the display after registration, for example 2. This means that the handset has been assigned the internal number 2.

Notes:

– Automatic registration is only possible if

the base station on which you wish to register the handset is not being used to make

a call. – A key press cancels automatic registration. – If four handsets are already registered on a

Gigaset E360/365 base station there are

two options:

– The handset with the internal number 4

is in idle status: the handset you wish to register is assigned the number 4. The handset that was previously number 4 is de-registered.

– The handset with the internal number 4

is being used: the handset you wish to register cannot be registered.

– If automatic registration does not work, the

handset will have to be registered manu-

ally.

Manually registering the Gigaset E36 on the Gigaset E360/365

You must activate manual registration of the handset on both the handset and the base station.

After it has registered, the handset returns to idle status. If several handsets are registered on the base, the internal number is shown in the display after registration, for example 2.

The registration process is cancelled after 60 seconds. If the handset has not registered within this time, repeat the process.

Charging the batteries

¢ §OK§.

¤ Plug the mains adapter of the charging

cradle into the power socket.

¤ Place the handset in the charging cra-

dle with its display facing forward.

To charge the batteries, leave the handset in the charging cradle. Battery charging is indicated in the top right of the display by a flashing battery icon e if the handset is switched on. During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the batteries (page 1).

Initial charging and discharging of batteries

The correct charge status can only be displayed when the batteries are first fully charged and discharged through use.

¤ To do this, leave the handset in the

charging cradle without interruption until the battery icon stops flashing in the display (approx. 6 hours).

¤ Once the batteries are fully charged,

remove the handset from the charging

cradle and do not put it back again until the batteries are fully discharged.

Note:

After the first battery charge and discharge you may replace your handset in the charging cradle after every call.

Please ensure the following:

u Always repeat the charging and dis-

charging procedure if you remove the batteries from the handset and reinsert them.

u The batteries may warm up as they are

charging. This is not dangerous.

u After a time the charge capacity of the

batteries will decrease for technical reasons.

Note:

You will find explanations for the symbols and typographical conventions used in this user guide in the appendix, page 14.
