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 sta-
tion or charging cradle.
Fit only the approved rechargeable battery pack (¢page 31)! 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 along with 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 con-
ditions 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 hands-
free 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 29).
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 our Service, as
they could interfere with other wireless services.

Version 4, 16.09.2005
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 pre-
vent 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 prod-
uct from.
Please note:
Not all of the functions described in this manual are available in all countries.

Gigaset SL37H –
More than just a telephone
Your phone, which has a clearly laid out col-
our display (65K colours), doesn't just offer
you the option of saving up to 250 phone
numbers and e-mail addresses (¢page 12)
– it can do much more than that:
uYou can programme the keys of your
phone with important numbers or fre-
quently used functions. The number is
then dialled or the function started by
simply pressing a key (¢page 18).
uYou can designate important people as
VIPs so you can tell important calls from
the ringer tone (¢page 13).
uYou can assign pictures to your contacts.
You can then tell who is calling you from
the picture on your handset's display.
Precondition: Calling Line Identification
uYou can store appointments (¢page 24)
and anniversaries (¢page 15) in your
phone and it will remind you of them in
advance.
uYou can use Bluetooth™ for wireless com-
munication with other devices (e.g. head-
sets) that also use this technology
(¢page 26).
Enjoy using your new telephone!

uAlways repeat the charging and discharg-
ing procedure if you remove the battery
pack from the handset and insert it again.
uThe battery pack may warm up as it is
charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a time the charge capacity of the
battery pack will decrease for technical
reasons.
Please note:
– If the handset has switched itself off because
the battery pack is flat and is then placed in
the charging cradle, it will switch itself on
automatically.
– Only place the handset in the charging cradle
that is intended for it.
Please note:
After the first battery charge and discharge, you
may place your handset in the charging cradle
after every call.

Order of directory/call-by-call list
entries
Directory entries are generally sorted alpha-
betically 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.

Using a handset as a
room monitor
If the room monitor is activated, a previously
stored destination number is called as soon
as a set noise level is reached. You can store
an internal or external number in your hand-
set as the destination number.
The room monitor call to an external
number stops after around 90 seconds. The
room monitor call to an internal number
(handset) stops after approx. 3 minutes
(depending on the base station). While the
room monitor is activated, all keys are
locked except the end call key. The handset's
speaker is muted.
When the room monitor is activated, incom-
ing calls to the handset are indicated with-
out a ringer tone and are only shown on the
screen. The display and keypad are not illu-
minated and advisory tones are also turned
off.
If you accept an incoming call, the room
monitor mode is suspended for the duration
of the call, but the function remains acti-
vated.
The room monitor mode is retained if you
turn the handset off and on again.

Walky-talky mode
Walky-talky mode allows two handsets to
communicate with each other, both inside
and outside the range of the base station to
which the handsets are registered.
Handsets that are to communicate with
each other using walky-talky mode must
meet one of the following conditions:
uThe handsets are all registered to the
same base station.
uThe handsets are set to Best Base or are
not yet registered.
In walky-talky mode, if you press the talk key
cor the handsfree key d, the call will
go to all handsets that are in walky-talky
mode. The connection is made with the first
handset to accept the walky-talky call.
Caution!
–You should always check the operation of
the room monitor before use. For example,
test its sensitivity. Check the connection if
you are diverting the room monitor to an
outside number.
– When the function is switched on the hand-
set's operating time is severely reduced.
If necessary, place the handset in the charg-
ing cradle. This ensures that the batteries do
not run down.
– Ideally the handset should be positioned 1 to
2 metres away from the baby. The micro-
phone must be directed towards the baby.
– The connection to which the room monitor is
diverted must not be blocked by an activated
answer machine.
Please note:
uThe maximum range outdoors is 300 m.
uHandsets that are in walky-talky mode
are not available for phone calls.
uThe handset operating times are greatly
curtailed.
