Safety precautions

Use only the power unit supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base

station.

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions within the particular environment (e.g. doctor's practice).

Do not install the base in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and base are not watertight.

Do not use the phone in environments subject to explosion hazard (e .g. auto paint shops).

If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the

operating manual.

Dispose of the batteries and phone in accordance with environmental regulations.

Getting started

Pack contents

◆ 1 base

◆ 1 power supply cord with power unit

◆ 1 ISDN connection cable

◆ 1 USB cable

◆ 1 wall holder

◆ Operating instructions

Notes on installation

◆ The installation location must have a 220/230V~ mains outlet and an ISDN tele-

phone connection.

◆ For optimum radio reception, you should install the base at a central point wherever

possible.

◆ The installation location should not be in the immediate vicinity of other equipment,

e. g. hi-fi, television, office or microwave equipment, in order to prevent mutual interference. Minimum distance (including to base power unit): 1.5 metres.

In case of picture and sound interference on satellite reception equipment, please contact your retailer to have your satellite reception system checked for a lack of screening.

◆ Avoid direct contact with sources of heat (e .g. radiators).

◆ Do not expose the base to direct sunlight.

◆ The base can also be wall mounted, using the wall holder included in the pack.

◆ If you are not using wall mounting, install the base on a level, non-slip surface. The

feet of the device do not normally leave any marks on the installation surface. However, in view of the variety of paints and polishes available, it cannot be ruled out, that contact may cause marks on the installation surface.

◆ The range between the base and the handsets is up to 300 m in the open air. Inside

buildings, ranges of up to 50 m can be achieved.

Use as desktop unit

Your telephone can be used as a space-saving desktop unit. Before connecting the base, please read the notes on installation (page 3, page 4).

Getting started

Mounting the base as a wall unit

Before mounting the base, please read the notes on installation (page 3, page 4).

1. Drill two holes (∅ 5 mm) 80 mm apart next to one an- other in the wall.

2. Use appropriate rawlplugs.

3. Screw in two round screws (

4. Before attaching the wall holder and tightening the screws, place the connection cable through the holder from the back to the front. Ensure that the connection cable lies freely in the back recess.

5. Now plug the connection cable into the base (see Connecting the base).

6. Using slight vertical pressure from the top centre, press the base onto the retaining catches on the wall holder.

Getting started

Setting and operating the base

Preparing the base for use and making settings

In order to be able to use your base, certain settings are required, e. g. the ISDN phone number (MSN). To do this, you need a handset or a PC. More details can be found in the operating instructions for your handset or your PC software.

If you have an S1 or SL1 added-feature handset, a Getting started wizard is available to assist you in making the settings. More details can be found in the operating instructions for your added-feature handset.

Operating the base from a handset

Operating instructions for the S1, SL1, C1 and C2 handsets are enclosed. The current version of the operating instructions is available on the Internet at www.my-siemens.com/gigaset.

Below, examples of operating the base from an S1 or SL1 handset and a C1 or C2 handset are presented for "Assigning an MSN a ringer melody".

Operating the base from an S1 or SL1 handset

The central operator control on the S1 and SL1 handsets is a control key p, which has four black direction arrows with the associated symbols. Pressing the various icons (up, down, right, or left) opens a different function. The side you have to press is shown by a black triangle in the operating instructions, e.g.: v key for right = open menu.

Example: "Assigning an MSN a ringer melody"

the lower half the Phonebook key h. On the Gigaset C2, the upper half of the rocker key has the function of the Talk key c,

the lower half the Handsfree key d.

Registering handsets

You can register a maximum of eight wireless devices on your base (including Gigaset data modules (page 30) and Gigaset Repeater (page 30)). The internal numbers 11-18 are set aside for this purpose. Wire-based analogue devices do not have to be registered (page 26).

If the internal numbers Int.11 to Int.18 on your telephone have already been assigned, please de-register another handset you no longer require before registering a new one (see handset operating instructions).

If necessary, keep the handset operating instructions to hand with their description of the registration process.

You must initiate handset registration on the handset and on the base.
