Setting up the handset for use

Carry out the following steps for each handset.

Inserting the batteries

Caution:

Use only rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) UL-approved AAA batteries. Never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries or other battery types as this may cause significant damage to health and property. For example, the outer casing of the batteries 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/on the battery compartment.

socket notch and pull the battery cover upwards.

First Steps

Registering the handset to the base station

Important: The handset must not yet be registered to any base station.

Registering the handset to the Gigaset S185 base station occurs automatically.

The registration can take up to 5 minutes. During this process, Regstr.Procedure appears in the display and the name of the base station flashes, for example Base 1. When the handset has been registered, its screen displays its internal number, for example INT 2 for internal number 2.

ÐV

3. Letters (alphabetical)

4. Other characters To get around the alphabetical ordering of

the entries, insert a space or a digit in front of the name. These entries will then move to the beginning of the directory. Names which you have preceded with an asterisk will move to the end of the directory.

Using the directory and lists

Using the network mailbox

The network mailbox is your network provider's answering machine within the network. You cannot use the network mailbox unless you have requested it from your network provider.

Configuring the network mailbox for fast access

With fast access, you can dial the network mailbox directly.

Gigaset S18H handsets. If your network mailbox requires a pass-

word for access, it is possible to add this password by entering pauses (see Flash key on page 1) immediately after the mailbox access number, then enter your password.

Your telephone will dial the mailbox number, wait a few seconds until the mailbox is accessed, then dial your password. If more time is needed for your mailbox to answer before the network mailbox password is dialed, simply add an additional pause (P).

Viewing the network mailbox message

If a message arrives for you, you receive a call from the network mailbox. If you have requested Caller ID, the display shows the network mailbox number. If you accept the call, the new messages are played back. If you do not accept the call, the network mailbox number will be stored in the missed calls list and the message key will flash (page 19).

Using a handset as a room monitor

If the room monitor is activated, a previously stored destination number is called as soon as a set noise level is reached. You can store an internal or external number in your handset as the destination number.

The room monitor call to an external number stops after approx. 90 seconds. The room monitor call to an internal number (handset) stops after approx. 3 minutes (depending on the base station). While the room monitor is activated, all keys are locked except the end call key. The handset's speaker is muted.

When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indicated without a ringtone and are only shown on the screen. The display and keypad are not illuminated and advisory tones are also turned off.

If you accept an incoming call, the room monitor mode is suspended for the duration of the call, but the function remains activated.

If you switch off the handset, the room monitor mode is deactivated. You will need to reactivate the function after switching on the handset again.

Caution:

– You should always check the operation

of the room monitor before use. For example, test its sensitivity. Check the connection if you are diverting the room monitor to an outside number.

– When the function is switched on the hand-

set's operating time is severely reduced. If necessary, place the handset in the charging cradle. This ensures that the batteries do not run down.

– Ideally the handset should be positioned

1 to 2 meters away from the sound being monitored. The microphone must be directed towards the monitored sound.

– The connection to which the room monitor

is diverted must not be blocked by an activated answering machine.
