Safety precautions

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.
Fit only the approved rechargeable battery pack (page 63)! That means never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack, as this could result in sig­nificant health risks and personal injury.
Battery packs should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the local waste disposal regulations, which you can find out about by contacting 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.
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.
4
ƒ
Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 61).
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 al so give them the user guide.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by Siemens Service Centre, as they could interfere with other wireless services.
All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from gen­eral household waste using the sites designated by local authorities.
If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is sub­ject to European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondi­tion for the re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact your local authority, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased the product from.
Please note:
Not all of the functions described in this manual are available in all countries.

Gigaset SL370/SL375 – More than just a telephone
Gigaset SL370/SL375 – More than just a telephone
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 20) – it can do much more than that:
u You can reduce the transmission power
by activating the eco mode (page 12).
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 48).
u You can easily make calls using network
services (page 19).
u You can designate important people as
VIPs so you can tell important calls from the ringer tone (page 21).
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 17).
u You can store appointments (page 54)
and anniversaries (page 23) in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.
u You can use Bluetooth™ for wireless
communication with other devices (e.g. headsets) that also use this tech­nology (see page 55).
Enjoy using your new telephone!

First steps

Initial charging and discharging of the battery pack

If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon e in the top right of the dis­play indicates that the battery pack is being charged.
During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the bat­tery pack (page 1). The correct charge sta­tus can only be displayed if the battery pack is first fully charged and discharged.
¤ To do this, leave the handset in the
charging cradle continuously for ten
hours. Your handset need not be
switched on for it to charge.
¤ Afterwards, remove the handset from
the charging cradle and do not put it
back again until the battery pack is fully
discharged.
Please note:
After the first battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in the charging cradle after every call.
Please note:
u Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
battery pack from the handset and
insert it again.
u The battery pack may warm up as it is
charging. This is not dangerous.
u After a time the charge capacity of the
battery pack will decrease for technical
reasons.

Order of directory/call-by-call list entries

Directory entries are generally sorted alphabetically by surname. Spaces and digits take first priority. If only the first name was entered in the directory, this is incorporated into the sort order instead of the surname.
The sort order is as follows:
1. Space
2. Digits (0–9)
3. Letters (alphabetical)
4. Other characters To get round the alphabetical order of the
entries, insert a space or a digit in front of the first letter of the surname. These entries will then move to the beginning of the directory.

Selecting entries in the directory and call-by-call list

s / C Open directory or call-by-call
list.
You have the following options:
u Use s to scroll through the entries
until the required name is selected.
u Enter the first character of the name (in

name or of the first name if only the
first name has been entered), or scroll
to the entry using s.
