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 base sta-

‹

tion.

Only fit the recommended rechargeable batteries of the same type (page 24)! 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 5).

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 base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and base

station are not splash proof (page 23).

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 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. It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment. For further detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Setting up the handset for use

Fitting the batteries and closing the cover

Caution:

Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH on page 24. 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 polarity

(see diagram).

The polarity is indicated in the battery compartment.

¤ First align the notches on the side of the

battery cover with the protrusions of the inside of the casing.

¤ Then press down the cover so that it

clicks into place.

First steps

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.

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.

Placing the handset in the base station and registering

Requirement: the handset must not already

be registered on

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

any base station.

¤ Place the handset in the charging cradle

of the base station with its

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

ba se s tat ion on w hi ch yo u w ish to r egi ste r th e

handset is not being used to make a call. – A key press cancels automatic registration. – If four handsets are already registered on the

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 deregistered.

– 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 manually

(page 17).

display facing

¤ To charge the batteries, leave the handset

in the charging cradle on the base station.

Notes:

– The handset may only be placed in the base/

charging cradle provided for it. – If the handset has switched itself off because

the batteries are flat and is then placed in the

base/cradle, it will switch itself on automati-

cally.

First steps

For questions and problems see page 23.

Initial charging and discharging of batteries

Battery charging is indicated in the top right of the display by a flashing battery icon e, V or U. During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the batteries (page 1).

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 base

without interruption until the battery icon stops flashing in the display (approx. 13h).

¤ Once the batteries are fully charged,

remove the handset from the base 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 its base after every call.

Please remember:

u Always repeat the charging and discharg-

ing procedure if you remove the batteries from the handset and re-insert 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 23.
