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.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 71), 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.
ƒ
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 69).
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.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by Siemens Service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

Gigaset SX670 isdn/SX675 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.

Gigaset SX670_SX675 isdn / EN-Master / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / starting.fm / 7.11.07
First steps
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
¤ 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.

Headset socket

You can connect various headset types (with 2.5 mm jack connector), including: HAMA Plantronics M40, MX100 and MX150.
A compatibility list of tested headsets is available on the Internet at: www.plantronics.com/productfinder
.

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 contin-
uously for seven hours.

ECO DECT

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- vated automatically. 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.

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.

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:
u Receive MSN: numbers you can be
called on. You can assign the receive
MSNs to specific internal subscribers
(terminals). Incoming calls are only for-
warded to the terminals to which the
relevant receive MSN has been
assigned. Examples of terminals are
handsets or answer machines.
u Send MSN: numbers that are identified
to the person you are calling. The net-
work provider calculates charges based
on the send MSNs. You can assign a
