Safety precautions

Warning:

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

Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base station or charging cradle.

Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 28), i.e. never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the local waste disposal regulations, which you can find out about by contacting your local authority or the dealer you purchased the product from.

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. 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 the handsfree function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 26).

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint shops).

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

Please take defective base stations out of operation or have them repaired by the Service, as they could interfere with other radio services.

Safety precautions

All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from general household waste using the sites designated by local authorities.

If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is subject to European Directive 2002/96/EC.

The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondition for the re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact your local authority, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased the product from.

Please note:

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

Gigaset S67H – More than just a telephone

Your phone, which has a clearly laid out colour display (65K colours), doesn't just offer you the option of saving up to 250 phone numbers and e-mail addresses (page 12) – it can do much more besides:

u You can programme the keys of your

phone with important numbers or frequently used functions. The number is then dialled or the function started by simply pressing a key (page 18).

u You can designate important people as

VIPs so you can tell important calls from the ringer tone (page 13).

u You can assign pictures to your con-

tacts. You can then tell who is calling you from the picture on your handset's display. Precondition: Calling Line Identification

u You can save appointments (page 24)

and anniversaries (page 15) in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.

Enjoy using your new telephone!

First steps

Registration

Before you can use your Gigaset S67H you must register it to a base station. It can be registered to a maximum of four base stations. The actual registration procedure will depend on the type of base station.

Automatic registration of Gigaset S67H to Gigaset S670/675

Precondition: The handset must not yet have been registered to a base station.

The handset is automatically registered to the Gigaset S670/675 base station.

¤ Place the handset in the base station

with its display facing forward.

Registration can take up to 5 minutes. During this process, Regstr.Procedure appears in the display and the name of the base station flashes, e.g. Base 1. When the handset has registered, its screen displays its internal number, e.g. INT 2 for internal number 2. The handset is assigned the lowest available internal number (1–6). If all internal numbers 1–6 have been assigned, number 6 is overwritten, provided the handset with the internal number 6 is in idle status.

Manual registration Gigaset S67H

If the handset does not activate automatically when the batteries are fitted, you must first charge the batteries.

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

Once it has been registered, the handset returns to idle status. The handset's internal number appears in the display, e.g. INT 1. If it does not appear, repeat the procedure.

registration.

– If automatic registration does not work,

you will have to register the handset manually.

Charging batteries

¤ Plug the mains adapter of the charging

cradle into a mains power socket.

¤ Place the handset in the cradle with the

display facing forward.

To charge the batteries, leave the handset in the charging cradle. If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon e in the top right of the display indicates that the batteries are being charged. During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the batteries (page 1).

Initial charging and discharging of batteries

The correct charge level can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully charged and discharged.

¤ To do this, leave the handset in the

charging cradle without interruption for nine hours. Your handset need not be turned on for it to charge.

¤ Once the batteries are fully charged,

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

Please note:

– The handset should only be placed in a

base station or charging cradle that is designed for it.

– If the handset has turned itself off because

the batteries are flat and if it is then placed in the charging cradle, it will turn itself on automatically.

– After the first battery charge and dis-

charge, you may place your handset in the charging cradle after every call.

u After a while the charge capacity of the

batteries will decrease for technical rea-

sons.
