Safety precautions

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 42), 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, details of which can be obtained from 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.

ƒ

Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
The base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 41).

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.

5

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 user guide are available in all countries.

Inserting the batteries

Warning:

Use only the rechargeable batteries recom­mended by Gigaset Communications GmbH *
(page 42). Never use a conventional (non­rechargeable) battery or other battery types as
this could result in significant health risks and

8

First steps

Attaching the belt clip

There are notches for attaching the belt
clip on the side of the handset at the same
height as the display.

¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the

handset so that the protrusions on the
belt clip engage with the notches.

Opening the battery cover

¤ Place your fingertip in the cavity on the

casing and pull the battery cover

The handset registers automatically.

Registration can take up to 5 minutes.
While this is happening, Regstr.Procedure
appears in the display and the name of the
base station flashes. The handset is
assigned the lowest available internal
number (1-4).

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 1–4 are already
assigned to other devices, the number 4 is
overwritten.

Please note:

– Automatic registration is only possible

while no calls are being made from 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 24).

– You can change the name of the handset

(page 27).

To charge the batteries, leave the handset
in the base station.

Please note:

– The handset will automatically switch on if

it is placed in the base station.

– Only place the handset in the base station

or charging cradle that is intended for it.

For questions and problems see page 41.

batteries

If the handset is activated, the flashing
battery icon e in the top right of the dis­play indicates that the batteries are being

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 with­out interruption for five hours.

¤ 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 rea­sons.

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, the transmission power
of the base station is reduced to the mini­mum.

Your handset also reduces the transmis­sion power depending on the distance to
the base station.

preselection (preselection)

You can specify a preselection number

numbers when you dial them.

the "rule" for dialling code numbers or
the first digits of dialling code numbers
with which you wish the preselection
number to be used.

u The "without preselection" list con-

tains the "exception to the rule".
Example:
You have entered 08 for "with preselec-

tion". Now all numbers that start with
08 will be dialled with preselection.

If, for example, you want 081 to still be
dialled without preselection, enter 081
for "without preselection".

When dialling, the first digits of the
selected numbers are compared with both

pressed:

u The preselection number is not pre-

fixed if the dialled number
– does not match any entries in the

two lists

Precondition: The handset must not
already be registered to a base station.

Registering the handset to the base sta­tion occurs automatically.

¤ Place the handset in the base station

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 (1–4). If all
internal numbers 1–4 have been
assigned, number 4 is overwritten, pro­vided the handset with the internal
number 4 is in idle status.

Please note:

– Automatic registration is not possible when

the base station to which you wish to regis­ter the handset is being used to make a call.

– Each key press interrupts the automatic

registration.

room monitor

If the room monitor is activated, a previ­ously saved destination number is called
as soon as a set noise level is reached. You
can save an internal or external number in
your handset as the destination number.

The room monitor call to an external
number stops after around 90 seconds.
The room monitor call to an internal
number (handset) stops after approx. 3
minutes (depending on the base station).
When the room monitor is activated, all
keys are locked except the end call key.
The handset's speaker is muted.

When the room monitor is activated,
incoming calls to the handset are indi­cated without a ringer tone and are only
shown on the screen. The display and key­pad are not illuminated and advisory
tones are also turned off.

If you accept an incoming call, the room
monitor mode is suspended for the dura­tion of the call, but the function remains
activated.

If you deactivate then reactivate the hand­set, the room monitor mode remains acti­vated.

Warning!

– You should always check the operation

of the room monitor before use. For
example, test its sensitivity. Check the
connection if you are diverting the room
monitor to an external number.

– When the function is switched on, the

handset's operating time is severely
reduced. If necessary, place the handset in
the charging cradle. This ensures that the
batteries do not run down.

– Ideally the handset should be positioned 1

to 2 metres away from the baby. The micro­phone must be directed towards the baby.

– The connection to which the room monitor

is diverted must not be blocked by an acti­vated answering machine.
