isdn – More than just a
telephone
Your ISDN connection offers you two telephone lines simultaneously. Your phone,
which has a clearly laid out colour display
(65K colours) doesn't just offer you the
option of sending and receiving SMS messages via the fixed network and of saving
up to 250 phone numbers and e-mail
addresses (page 26) – it can do much
more besides:
u You can reduce the transmission power
by activating eco mode (page 13).
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 53).
u You can designate important people as
VIPs so you can identify important calls
from the ringer tone (page 27).
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
(CLIP, page 19).
u You can save appointments (page 59)
and anniversaries (page 28) in your
phone and it will remind you of them in
advance.
Enjoy using your new telephone!

Inserting the batteries
Warning:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Siemens (page 71). Never use a
conventional (non-rechargeable) 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
(see figure).
The polarity is indicated in/on the battery
compartment.
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
¤ If fitted, remove the belt clip.
¤ Place your fingertip in the cavity on the
casing and pull the battery cover
upwards.
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. During
this time Regstr.Procedure appears in the
display and the name of the base station
flashes, e.g. Base 1. The handset will be
assigned the lowest unassigned internal
number (1–6).
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 1–6 are already
assigned to other devices, the number 6 is
overwritten.
Please note:
– Automatic registration is only possible
while no one is making calls using 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 49).
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 51).
To charge the batteries, leave the handset
in the base station.
Please note:
– If the handset has turned itself off because
the batteries are flat and if it is then placed
in the charging cradle, it will turn itself on
automatically.
– Only place the handset in the base station
or charging cradle that is intended for it.
For questions and problems see page 69.

ECO DECT reduces power consumption 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, eco mode is always acti-vatedautomatically. In this case, the
transmission power of the base station is
reduced to the minimum.
You can use your handset to reduce the
transmission power on the base station
manually even when the handset is not in
the base station.
By doing so, you will reduce the transmission power even if you have several handsets registered.
Your handset also reduces the transmission power depending on the distance to
the base station.
Activating/deactivating eco mode:
v ¢ Ð ¢ Base ¢ Add. Features

§OK§ Press the display key
When eco mode is activated manually, the
½ icon is displayed at the top of the
screen. If eco mode is activated automatically (only one handset is registered and
it is in the base station) and eco mode has
not been activated via the menu, then the
icon is not displayed.
Please note:
– Activating eco mode reduces the range of
the base station.
– Eco mode and any repeater support (see
page 66) cancel each other out, i.e. both
functions cannot be used at the same time.
– If external handsets (GAP) and handsets
from earlier Gigaset versions are used, your
handset will not automatically reduce the
transmission power to the base station.

Installation assistant
A few settings are necessary before using
your telephone. The installation assistant
is designed to help you with this.
If you place the first handset in the charging cradle before the MSN settings have

What is an MSN?
MSN = Multiple Subscriber Number. You
can request up to 10 different telephone
numbers for the ISDN multiple connection. An MSN is one of the phone num-
bers assigned to you without an area
code (dialling code).
Your telephone uses the MSN entirely as
you require. The following differentiation
is made:
Handsets, to which you can assign the
internal numbers 1 to 6.
Example of how to assign MSNs
You have requested four MSNs, two fo r
business use (MSN1, MSN2) and two for
private use (MSN3, MSN4). Four handsets
are connected to one base station. Two
handsets (INT 1 and 2) and the answer
machine should be used for business purposes, and two handsets (INT 3 and 4)
should be used for private purposes.
