Gigaset S790 – more than just a telephone . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1
Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on page 75, 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 speaker
mode is activated. Otherwise you risk 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 an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids
or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid
supplier.
Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and
charger are not splashproof (
¢ page 75).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g., paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset 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 department, as
they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

Directory entries are generally sorted alphabetically by surname. Spaces and digits take
first priority. If only the first name was

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.

ECO DECT
You are helping to protect the environment

Reducing energy consumption
By using a power-saving adapter plug, your
telephone consumes less power.
Reducing radiation
The radiation from your telephone is
reduced automatically:
u Handset: The closer the handset is to the
base, the lower the radiation.
u Base station: The radiation is reduced to
virtually zero when only one handset is
registered and the handset is placed in
the base.
You can reduce the radiation from the
handset and base even more by using Eco Mode.
u Eco Mode
Reduces the radiation of the base station
and handset by 80% - whether you are
making a call or not. Eco Mode reduces
the range of the base station by approx.
50%. Using Eco Mode always makes
sense when a reduced range is sufficient.
Switching off radiation
u Eco Mode+
When you activate Eco Mode+, radiation
(DECT transmission power) from the base
and handset is switched off in the idle
state.
This is also true when multiple handsets
are used, provided the handsets support

– Call setup is delayed by approx.
two seconds.
– Handset standby time is reduced
