Gigaset S810 – more than just a telephone

Gigaset S810 – more than just a telephone

Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home.

The configuration and user interface of the cordless phone are excellent, providing you with first-class voice quality in handsfree mode, while the various ports (Bluetooth, USB) offer you enormous flexibility.

The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very simple to use.

Your phone can do a whole lot more:

uYou can use Bluetooth™ for wireless communication with other devices (e.g. headsets) that also use this technology.

u You can synchronise your directories on your telephone, mobile phone and PC

via Bluetooth™ or the USB port using the Gigaset QuickSync software (¢page 79).

u You can save appointments (¢page 54) and anniversaries, e.g., birthdays (¢page 39), in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.

uYou can designate important people as VIPs to identify important calls from the ringtone (¢page 36).

uYou can assign a picture to entries in the directory – in future the picture will appear every time you receive a call from this number (¢page 36).

uIf you do not want to take calls where the caller has withheld their number, just

set your handset to only ring if Calling Line Identification has not been withheld (¢page 67).

uIf you do not wish to be disturbed, you can simply set up a time control so that your phone will only ring when it is convenient (¢page 67). VIP calls are still connected.

uYou can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone. The number is then dialled by simply pressing a key (¢page 63).

¢page 66).

¢page 64).

uYou can set the display to large font to increase readability in particularly important situations (e.g., the directory and lists) (¢page 65).

u You can adapt the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only

•the most important functions (standard mode) or all functions (expert mode ) are displayed (¢page•26). Menu options that are only available in expert

mode are marked with the icon.

Safety precautions

Safety precautions

Warning

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 77, 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.

If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high frequency energy. Please refer to the "Appendix" chapter for the specifications of this Gigaset product.

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when handsfree 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 interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) 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 77).

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

ƒIf 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

u Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit emergency calls.

First steps

Setting up the base and charger (if included)

The base and charger are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of

¤Set up the base at a central point in the building on a level, non-slip surface or mount the base or charger on the wall (¢page 84).+5°C to +45°C.

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 (¢page 53) is activated.

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.

Please note:

uNever 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.

Connecting the base

¤ First connect the tel-	1
ephone jack 2and

Warning

Use only rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH (¢page 77), i.e., Never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries, as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries could be damaged 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.

¤Insert the batteries with the polarity in the correct direction.

The polarity is indicated in/on the battery compartment.

To open the battery cover, for instance to replace the batteries, insert a coin into the cavity on the left-hand side of the casing, then pull the battery cover in an upward direction.

Please note

The handset must only be placed in the designated Gigaset S810 base or charging cradle.

First steps

¤After charging, remove the handset from the base and only replace it when the batteries are fully discharged.

Please note

uEach handset is registered with the base at the factory. You do not need to register the handset again. If you wish to use your handset with a different

base or use further handsets with your base, you will need to register the handset manually (¢page 56).

uAfter the initial battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in the base after every call.

uAlways repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the batteries from the handset and reinsert them.

u The batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.

uAfter a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.
