Safety precautions

Caution:

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use. Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone.

Only use the mains adapter supplied.

Fit only the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 37)! Donot use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

‹

Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity and use in accordance with this user guide (polarity symbols are provided in the handset battery compartments).

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the base station in a bathroom or shower room, as the handset and base station are not splash-proof (page 36).

Switch off your phone while on board an aircraft. Ensure that it cannot be switched on again accidentally.

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, e.g. auto paint shops.

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

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

Gigaset S58 – More than just a telephone

Your telephone not only enables you to store up to 200 telephone numbers (page 14) – your telephone can do a whole lot more:

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 27).

u You can designate important people as

VIPs so you can tell important calls from the ring tone (page 15).

u You can store appointments (page 31)

and anniversaries (page 16) in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.

Have fun using your new telephone!

Gigaset S56 / CHIN eng / A31008-M1625-Y101-1-7619 / starting.fm / 16.09.2005

Setting up the telephone for use

Placing the handset in the base station and registering it

¤ Place the handset in the base station

with its display facing forward.

The handset registers automatically. Registration takes around 1 minute. During this process 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 (1–4).

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 1–4 are already assigned to other units, the number 4 is overwritten.

Notes:

– 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,

you will have to register the handset manually.

– You can change the name of the handset

(page 24).

To charge the batteries, leave the handset in the charging cradle.

Notes:

– When the handset is in the base station, it

charges even if it is switched off.

– If the handset has switched itself off

because the batteries are flat and is then placed in the cradle, it will switch itself on automatically.

– The handset must only be placed in the

designated base station.

For questions and problems see page 36..

Initial charging and discharging of batteries

If the handset is activated, the battery charging process is indicated on the handset by the flashing battery icon e.

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

¤ To do this, leave the handset in the

charging cradle uninterrupted for 10 hours. Your handset doesn’t need to be switched on for charging.

¤ Once the batteries are fully charged,

remove the handset from the cradle and do not put it back again until the batteries are fully discharged.

Note:

After the initial charge and discharge you may replace your handset in the charging cradle after every call.

Please note:

u Always repeat the charging and dis-

charging procedure if you remove the batteries from the handset and insert them in again.

u The batteries may warm up as they are

charging. This is not dangerous.

u After a time the charge capacity of the

batteries will decrease for technical reasons.

Your phone is now ready for use.

¤ Set the date and the time (page 8), for

example to ensure the correct time of

incoming calls is recorded.

Attaching the belt clip

There are notches on the side of the handset side at approximately the same height as the display for attaching the belt clip.

¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the

handset so that the protrusions on the belt clip click into the notches.

The belt clip's clasp must be pointing towards the battery compartment.
