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.
Fit only the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 64), 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.

The base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 61).
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 remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by our
Service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

display and the name of the base station
flashes, e.g. Base 1. The handset will be
assigned the lowest unassigned internal
number (1–6).
This will appear in the display when registration is complete, e.g. INT 1. This means
that the number 1 has been assigned. If
the internal numbers 1–6 are already
assigned to other devices, the number 6 is
overwritten.
Please note:
– Automatic registration is only possible
while no one is making calls using the base
station.
– Each key press interrupts the automatic
registration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually
(page 43).
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 46).
To charge the batteries, leave the handset
in the base station.

Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
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). 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
base station or charging cradle continuously for seven hours. Your handset
need not be turned on for it to charge.
¤ Afterwards, remove the handset from
the base station and do not put it back
again until the batteries are fully discharged.
Please note:
After the first battery charge and discharge
you may replace your handset in its base station after every call.
Please note:
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 during
charging. This is not dangerous.
u After a while the charge capacity of the
batteries will decrease for technical rea-
sons.

ECO DECT
ECO DECT reduces power consumption by
using a power supply with low power consumption and also reduces the transmission power of the base station.
If only one handset is registered and it is in
the base station, eco mode is always acti-
vated automatically. In this case, the
transmission power of the base station is
reduced to the minimum.
You can use your handset to reduce the
transmission power on the base station
manually even when the handset is not in
the base station.
By doing so, you will reduce the transmission power even if you have several handsets registered.
Your handset also reduces the transmission power depending on the distance to
the base station.

Using the directory and lists
Order of directory entries
Directory entries are generally sorted
alphabetically by surname. Spaces and
digits take first priority. If only the first
name was entered in the directory, this is
incorporated into the sort order instead of
the surname.
The sort order is as follows:
1. Space
2. Digits (0–9)
3. Letters (alphabetical)
4. Other characters
To get round the alphabetical order of the
entries, insert a space or a digit in front of
the first letter of the surname. These
entries will then move to the beginning of
the directory.
