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.

Fit only the approved rechargeable battery pack (page 30)! That means never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Battery packs should not be disposed of along with 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.

Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 28).

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 al so 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.

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 manual are available in all countries.

Gigaset SL37H – More than just a telephone

Your phone, which has a clearly laid out colour display (65K colours), doesn't just offer you the option of saving up to 250 phone numbers and e-mail addresses (page 12) – it can do much more than that:

u You can programme the keys of your

phone with important numbers or frequently used functions. The number is then dialled or the function started by simply pressing a key (page 18).

u You can designate important people as

VIPs so you can tell important calls from the ringer tone (page 13).

u You can assign pictures to your con-

tacts. You can then tell who is calling you from the picture on your handset's display. Precondition: Calling Line Identification

u You can store appointments (page 24)

and anniversaries (page 15) in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.

u You can use Bluetooth™ for wireless

communication with other devices (e.g. headsets) that also use this technology (see page 26).

Enjoy using your new telephone!

To find out how to register the handset to the base station, see the user guide for the base station.

Placing the handset in the charging cradle

¤ Plug the charging cradle mains adapter

into a mains power socket.

¤ Place the handset in the charging cra-

dle with the display facing forward.

To charge the battery pack, leave the handset in the charging cradle.

Please note:

– If the handset has switched itself off

because the battery pack is flat and is then placed in the charging cradle, it will switch itself on automatically.

– Only place the handset in the charging

cradle that is intended for it.

Initial charging and discharging of the battery pack

If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon e in the top right of the display indicates that the battery pack is being charged.

During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the battery pack (page 1). The correct charge status can only be displayed if the battery pack is first fully charged and discharged.

¤ To do this, leave the handset in the

charging cradle continuously for ten

hours. Your handset need not be

switched on for it to charge.

¤ Afterwards, remove the handset from

the charging cradle and do not put it

back again until the battery pack is fully

discharged.

Please note:

After the first battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in the charging cradle after every call.

Please note:

u Always repeat the charging and dis-

charging procedure if you remove the

battery pack from the handset and

insert it again.

u The battery pack may warm up as it is

charging. This is not dangerous.

u After a time the charge capacity of the

battery pack will decrease for technical

reasons.

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.

Using a handset as a room monitor

If the room monitor is activated, a previously stored destination number is called as soon as a set noise level is reached. You can store 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). While 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.

The room monitor mode is retained if you turn the handset off and on again.

First steps

Caution!

– 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 outside 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.

Using Bluetooth devices

Your Gigaset SL37H handset can communicate wirelessly via Bluetooth™ with other devices using this technology.

Before you can use your Bluetooth devices, you must first activate Bluetooth and then register the devices to the handset.

You can register 1 Bluetooth headset to the handset. You can also register up to 5 data devices (PC, PDA) to send and receive directory entries as vCards or to exchange data with a computer (page 32).

In order to transfer phone numbers via Bluetooth connections, it is essential that area codes (international and local area codes) are stored on the phone (see page 28).

You will find a description of how to operate your Bluetooth devices in the user guides for these devices.

Please note:

– You can only operate headsets on your

handset that have the headset profile.

– It can take up to 5 seconds to create a con-

nection between your handset and a Bluetooth headset. This applies both when a call is accepted using the headset and one is transferred to the headset, and when a number is dialled from the headset.
