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.

u Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base. u Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on page 43, as

this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.

u 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.

u Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when handsfree mode is acti-

vated. 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.

u Do not install the charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charger is not splashproof

(¢ page 43).

u Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops). u If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide. u Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service, 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. u The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit

emergency calls.

First steps

Checking the package contents

u One Gigaset S810H handset u Two batteries u One battery cover u One charger u One power adapter u One belt clip u One plastic headset socket cover u One user guide

First steps

¤ Plug the power adapter into the plug

socket 2.

¤ Connect the flat plug from the power

adapter 1.

To disconnect the plug from the charger, press the release button 3 and disconnect the plug 4.

Setting up the charger

The charger is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C. ¤ Place the charger on a level, non-slip surface or mount it on the wall (¢ page 46).

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 29) 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:

u Never 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 charger

Setting up the handset for use

¤ Insert the batteries with the polarity in the

correct direction. The polarity is indicated in/on the battery compartment.

¤ First insert the battery cover at

the top.

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.

The display and keypad are protected by plastic films.

Remove the protective films!

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover

Warning

Use only rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH (¢ page 43), i.e., never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery, 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.

First steps

¤ Insert the plastic cover provided for the headset

socket to ensure optimum sound in handsfree mode.

Charge the handset in the charging cradle for 8.5 hours.

Please note

The handset must only be placed in the designated Gigaset S810/ S810A base or charging cradle.

¤ After charging, remove the handset from the charging cradle and only replace it

when the batteries are fully discharged.

Please note

u After the initial battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in the

base after every call.

u Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the batter-

ies from the handset and reinsert them.

sons.
