Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user manual before use.
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 rear of the base.
Use only the supplied, original batteries (
¢ page 92) as this could otherwise result
in significant health risks and personal injury. Replacement batteries can be
obtained via the Gigaset Service Hotline.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the tech-
nical conditions in your particular environment, e.g., doctor's surgery.
If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufac-
turer. 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 hear-
ing.
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 whis-
tling) 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 92).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint
shops).
If you give your phone 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 team, as these
could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
u Not all functions described in this user guide are available in all countries and with all net-
work providers.
u The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In this case, it is also not possi-
ble to transmit emergency calls.

Installing the base and charger
The base and charger are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of
+5°C to +45°C.
¤ Set up the base on a level, non-slip surface at a central point in the building or
mount the base on the wall (
¢ page 14).
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 effects of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
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 build-
ings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (
¢ page 62).
13
First steps
Connecting the base with the phone network and the mains
power supply
Please note:
u The power adapter must always be connected, as the phone will not operate
without a power supply.
u Use only the power adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on tele-
phone cables can vary (pin connections,
¢ page 94).
¤ Insert the phone cable (cable
slightly flattened) into the lower
connection socket at the rear
of the base.
¤ Insert the power cable for the
power adapter into the upper
connection socket at the rear
of the base.
¤ Insert both cables into the
appropriate cable channels .
¤ First, connect the power adapter
.

Operating the touchscreen
The Gigaset SL910H handset is primarily operated using the display and only to a

Icons, list entries, buttons and sliders shown on the display are sensitive areas. You
can set up and activate functions, enter or dial phone numbers and navigate
between the various display screens (pages) by touching these areas and dragging
them across the display.
Selecting functions/list entries
To activate a function or select a list item (Contacts, submenu, call list), simply tap
your finger on the corresponding icon or on the required list entry on the display.
Activating/deactivating functions
Functions, e.g., room monitor, answering machine, are activated and deactivated
via buttons.
If the button slider is to the right, the func-
tion is activated. The area to the left of the
slider is highlighted (on).
If the button slider is to the left, the func-
tion is deactivated (off). The area to the
right of the slider is black.
There are two ways to operate a button:
¤ Slowly drag the slider to the right or left to activate or deactivate the function.

Handset idle display
The idle display consists of three pages that are shown separately on the display.
u The configurable page (example ¢ page 21)
You can customise this page yourself. More detailed information on configuring
this page is available on page 72.
By default, the date and time are displayed and quick access can be set for call
lists and Contacts (
¢ page 21).
u The dial page (example ¢page 7)
You will need this page to make calls. The dial page contains an optional field
(numerical keypad) to enter phone numbers. You can use the options on this
page to make internal calls and to dial numbers from Contacts and the call lists.
u The message page (example ¢ page 44)
You can use this page to go straight to the message lists for the phone: call lists,
answering machine list, text messages inbox and network mailbox. An icon and
the number of new and old messages are displayed for each list that contains
entries. Touch the icon to open the corresponding list.
The default configuration, i.e., after the handset is switched on for the first time,
is to display the configurable page.
Navigation area, changing the page
You have to scroll right or left to move from one page to the next.
Each idle display page therefore has a navigation area (example):
The page position marker shows which idle display page is currently
being displayed. The example shows the middle page.
¤ To scroll to the right, touch the ë icon in the navigation area or place a finger on
the display and drag it to the left.
¤ To scroll to the left, touch the ê icon or place a finger on the display and drag it
to the right.
The scroll function is continuous. On the third page (far right; ), touch ë
again to display the first page (far left; ).

referred to as the Settings menu) offers all the setting options for the base, handset
and telephony.

Scrolling through lists (vertical scrolling)
If lists (not submenus) are longer than the display, i.e., if it is not possible for all the
list entries to be displayed at once, then a drop shadow on the lower and/or upper
edge of the display indicates the direction you have to scroll in to view more of the
list.
You have to scroll vertically through lists:
¤ Drag from bottom to top over the display to scroll down in the list (i.e., it appears
as if you are pushing the section currently visible upwards out of the display so
that the bottom section appears in the display).
¤ Drag from top to bottom over the display to scroll upwards in the list.
As soon as you scroll in a list, a scroll bar is displayed on the right side of the display.
This shows the size and position of the visible section of the list.
Scrolling through lists is not continuous, i.e., you have to scroll back to return to the
top from the end of the list.
Options
Many display pages (especially lists like directories, call lists) have an option slider
in the lower section. This displays all the actions that you can apply in the current
context.

Entering numbers and text, incorrect entries
The appropriate keypads are displayed to enter numbers and text. An optional field
(numerical keypad) for entering phone numbers or a system PIN. A (typewriter) key-
pad for entering text.
You use them to enter characters by touching the relevant character on the display.
These then appear in the text or number field displayed on the page.
If several number and/or text fields are displayed (e.g., First Name and Surname in
a Contacts entry), you must activate the field by touching it before writing. The
flashing cursor is displayed in the activated field.
To avoid unnecessary incorrect entries: Touch a character on the keypad and this
character is enlarged. If the wrong character is enlarged, you can move your finger
to the required character (without lifting it from the display). The character is only
copied to the text field once you lift your finger from the display.
