Side key
çPress the top or bottom of the key to set the volume for
the earpiece, ringer, handsfree mode, alarm clock or headset depending on the situation. The key is located on
the side of the handset.
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.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification pro-vided on page 49, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks
and personal injury.
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 hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when
handsfree mode is activated. This may cause serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the
market. However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.
The handset may cause interference in analogue hearing aids. If you require
assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
Do not install the charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charger is not
splashproof (¢ page 49).
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 bases from use or have them repaired by our Service, as
these could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
u Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all

Second step: setting up the charger
The charger is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range
of +5°C to +45°C.
¤ Set up the charger on a level, non-slip surface or mount the
charger on the wall ¢ page 52.
Please note
Pay attention to 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 39).
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 the influence of heat sources,
direct sunlight or other electrical devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and
fumes.

Notes on calling line
display (CLIP)
By default, the number of the caller
is shown in the display of your
Gigaset telephone. You do not have
to make any other settings on your
Gigaset telephone.
However, if the caller's number is
not displayed, this can be due to
the following:
u You have not ordered CLIP from
your network provider or
u Your telephone is connected via a
PABX or a router with an integrated PABX (gateway) that does
not transmit all information.
Is your telephone connected via a
PABX/ gate way ?
You can establish this by checking
for an additional device connected
between your telephone and house
connection, e.g., a PABX, gateway
etc. In most cases, simply resetting
this device will remedy the situation:
¤ Briefly disconnect the mains plug
of your PABX. Re-insert the plug
and wait for the device to restart.
If the caller number is still not
displayed:
¤ Check the CLIP settings of your
PABX and activate this function if
necessary. In the user guide for
the device, search for the term
"CLIP" (or an alternative term such
as "calling line identification",
"phone number transmission",
"caller ID", etc.). If necessary, contact the device manufacturer.
If this does not resolve the problem,
it is possible that your network provider does not provide the CLIP service for this number.
28
Making calls
Have you ordered the calling line
display service from your network
provider?
¤ Check whether your provider
supports calling line display
(CLIP) and that the function has
been activated for you. If necessary, contact your provider.
Additional information on this subject can be found on the Gigaset
homepage at:
www.gigaset.com/service
Using handsfree mode
In handsfree mode, you activate the
loudspeaker so that you can hear
the caller without having to hold the
handset to your ear. You therefore
have both hands free and other people can listen in on the conversation.
Please note
Inform your caller before you use
the handsfree function so that
the caller knows a third party may
be listening.

Contact with liquid
If the handset has come into contact
with liquid:
1. Switch the handset off and re-
move the battery immediately.
2. Allow the liquid to drain from the
handset.
3. Pat all parts dry, then place the
handset with the battery com-
partment open and the keypad
facing down in a dry, warm place
for at least 72 hours (not in a mi-
crowave, oven etc.).
4. Do not switch on the handset
again until it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will
usually be able to use it again.
