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 sta-
$
tion or charging cradle.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 37), 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 ser ious 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 36).
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.

Setting up the handset for use
The display is protected by a
plastic film. Please remove
the protective film!
Inserting the batteries
Warning:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH
(page 37). Never use a conventional (nonrechargeable) battery or other battery types as
this could result in significant health risks and
personal injury. For example, 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 the right way round.
The polarity is indicated in/on the battery
compartment.
¤ Then press the cover until it clicks into
place.
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
upwards.
Closing the battery cover
¤ First insert the battery cover at the top.
6
First steps
Placing the handset in the base station
and registering
¤ Place the handset in the base station with
its display facing upwards.
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 regis-
tration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually
(page 20).
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 23).
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 36.
Headset socket
You can connect various headset types (with
2.5 mm jack connector).
See the relevant product page at
www.gigaset.com for information on recommended headsets.
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 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 discharg-
ing procedure if you remove the batteries
from the handset and reinsert them.
u The batteries may warm up during charg-
ing. This is not dangerous.
u After a while the charge capacity of the
batteries will decrease for technical reasons.

Registering handsets
You can register up to four handsets to your
base station.
Automatic registration of
Gigaset S88H to Gigaset S880
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 with
its display facing forward.
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. When the handset 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 regis-
tration.
– If automatic registration does not work, you
will have to register the handset manually.
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 23).
Manual registration of Gigaset S880H
to Gigaset S880
You must activate manual registration of the
handset on both the handset (1) and the
base station (2).
Once it has been registered, the handset
returns to idle status. The handset's internal
number is shown in the display e.g. INT 1. If
not, repeat the procedure.

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.

Using several handsets
When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indicated with-out 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 hand-
set'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
answer machine.
