Safety precautions
Gigaset SL910H / IM2 EN / A31008-M2370-R201-1-SM19 / security.fm / 30.08.2011
Version 4.1, 21.11.2007
Safety precautions
uUse only the power adapter supplied.
uUse only the supplied, original batteries (¢page 40) as this could otherwise result in significant
health risks and personal injury. Replacement batteries can be obtained via the Gigaset Service Hotline.
uUsing your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in
your particular environment, e.g., doctor's surgery.
If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. They will be able
to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high frequency energy.
Please refer to the "Appendix" chapter for the specifications of this Gigaset product.
uDo not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is activated.
Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market. However, perfect
function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.
The handset may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or override them.
If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
uDo not install the charger in bathrooms or showers. The handset is not splashproof (¢page 40).
uDo not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).
uIf you give your phone to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.
After purchasing your Gigaset phone, please register it at www.gigaset.com/service – this will ensure
any questions you may have or warranty services you request are dealt with even faster!
For more information about your phone, visit www.gigaset.com/gigasetsl910
If you have any questions about using your phone, please read the tips on troubleshooting (¢page 38)
or contact our Service team(¢page 37).
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user manual before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Please note
uNot all functions described in this user guide are available in all countries and with all network pro-
viders.
uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In this case, it is also not possible to trans-
mit emergency calls.

charger, one power adapter for the charger and one user guide.
Setting up the charger
The charger is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.

ferent varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces
cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to the effects of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical
devices.
uProtect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
Connecting the handset charger

The handset's display and keys are covered with a protective film. Please remove the protective
film!

Activating/deactivating the handset
¤Press and hold the end call key ain idle status to deactivate the handset. You will hear a confir-
mation tone.
¤Press and hold the end call key aagain to reactivate the handset.
Operating the touchscreen
The Gigaset SL910H handset is primarily operated using the display and only to a small extent using
the three buttons on the handset.
Icons, list entries, buttons and sliders shown on the display are sensitive areas. You can set up and
activate functions, enter or dial phone numbers and navigate between the various display screens
(pages) by touching these areas and dragging them across the display.
Selecting functions/list entries
To activate a function or select a list item (directory, submenu, call list), simply tap your finger on the
corresponding icon or on the required list entry on the display.
Activating/deactivating functions
Functions, e.g., room monitor, are activated and deactivated via buttons.
If the button slider is to the right, the function is acti-
vated. The area to the left of the slider is highlighted
(on).
If the button slider is to the left, the function is deacti-
vated (off). The area to the right of the slider is black.
There are two ways to operate a button:
¤Slowly drag the slider to the right or left to activate
or deactivate the function.
¤Touch the area to the right or left of the slider
briefly and the slider moves to the right or left to
the area that has been touched.
Handset idle display
The idle display consists of three pages that are shown separately on the display.
uThe configurable page (example ¢page 10)
You can customise this page yourself. More detailed information on configuring this page is avail-
able on page 32.
By default, the date and time are displayed and quick access can be set for call lists and the direc-
tory (¢page 10).
uThe dial page (example ¢page 3)
You will need this page to make calls. The dial page contains a keypad (numerical keyboard) for
entering phone numbers. You can use the options on this page to make internal calls and to dial
numbers from the directory and the call lists.
uThe message page (example ¢page 21)
You can use this page to go straight to the message lists for the phone (dependent on base): call
lists, answering machine list, SMS inbox and network mailbox. An icon and the number of new
and old messages are displayed for each list that contains entries. Touch the icon to open the cor-
responding list.
The default configuration, i.e., after the handset is switched on for the first time, is to display the
configurable page.

Version 4.1, 21.11.2007
Using the menus
All the functions for the base and the handset are provided in a menu (main menu).
Open the menu:
¤Briefly press the middle key vwhen the handset is in idle status.
The main menu is divided into two "pages" that are displayed separately. The Applications page
(subsequently referred to as the Applications menu) comprises all the applications offered by your
base or handset. The Settings page (subsequently referred to as the Settings menu) offers all the set-
ting options for the base, handset and telephony.
The following picture shows examples of the menus. The functions/applications that the menus con-
tain depend on the firmware version loaded on the handset and on the base.
Changing between the menu pages
You can switch between the menu pages in the same way as you switch between the pages in idle
mode, using ê, ëor dragging horizontally over the display (¢page 12).
Applications that are currently unavailable and settings that cannot currently be accessed
(e.g., because the handset is out of range of the base) are greyed out.

Opening the submenu
Touch an icon on one of the main menu pages and it will be highlighted. The corresponding sub-
menu or a new display page is opened up with settings options for the application.
The submenus are displayed as lists. The lists contain the parameters that can be configured and the
current setting, available options or buttons to activate/deactivate.
Scrolling through lists (vertical scrolling)
If lists (not submenus) are longer than the display, i.e., if it is not possible for all the list entries to be
displayed at once, then a drop shadow on the lower and/or upper edge of the display indicates the
direction you have to scroll in to view more of the list.
You have to scroll vertically through lists:
¤Drag from bottom to top over the display to scroll down in the list (i.e., it appears as if you are
pushing the section currently visible upwards out of the display so that the bottom section
appears in the display).
¤Drag from top to bottom over the display to scroll upwards in the list.
As soon as you scroll in a list, a scroll bar is displayed on the right side of the display. This shows the
size and position of the visible section of the list.
Scrolling through lists is not continuous, i.e., you have to scroll back to return to the top from the end
of the list.

Options
Many display pages (especially lists like directories, call lists) have an option slider in the lower sec-
tion. This displays all the actions that you can apply in the current context.
¤Touch an option to perform the corresponding action.
Example (moveable option slider):
If all of the options cannot be displayed at the same time in one row, a moveable option slider is gen-
erally used. You can scroll horizontally using the option slider.
Moving the option slider (horizontal scrolling)
A moveable option slider is identified by an arrow to the right and/or left next to the options (see the
picture above). The arrows indicate that there are additional options to those that are visible.
¤Place a finger on the option slider and drag to the left to view the options to the right.
¤Pull the finger to the right to view the options to the left.
Showing/hiding option slider
While establishing an external connection and during an external call, an option slider with two lines
is used instead of the moveable option slider.
If the space is not sufficient for the options available, the icon is displayed below the option slider.
¤Touch to show further options.
¤Touch to hide them again.
Entering numbers and text, incorrect entries
The appropriate keypads are displayed to enter numbers and text: An keypad (numerical keyboard)
for entering phone numbers or a system PIN; A (typewriter) keypad for entering text.
You use them to enter characters by touching the relevant character on the display. These then
appear in the text or number field displayed on the page.
If several number and/or text fields are displayed (e.g., First Name and Surname in a directory entry),
you must activate the field by touching it before writing. The flashing cursor is displayed in the acti-
vated field.
To avoid unnecessary incorrect entries: Touch a character on the keypad and this character is
enlarged. If the wrong character is enlarged, you can move your finger to the required character
(without lifting it from the display). The character is only copied to the text field once you lift your
finger from the display.
Correcting incorrect entries
Briefly touch $to delete the last character.
Press and hold $to delete the whole content of the number or text field.
Entering text
¤Touch the shift key to change between lower and upper case.
If upper case is activated, the keypad is shown in upper case letters, otherwise it is in lower case.
Upper case is only activated for the next character. Then lower case is automatically reactivated.
When editing a directory entry, the first letter and each letter following a space is automatically
in upper case.
¤Touch §123§ if you want to enter a digit or a special character. Touch More... to view other special
characters. Touch §abc§ to return to the normal keypad (lower case).

Special features when writing an SMS
If the text of an SMS is so long that it cannot be completely displayed in the text field, the first section
of the text disappears upwards from the visible area. A scroll bar is displayed on the right side of the
text field, which you can use to scroll up and down within the text.
You can position the cursor within the text, e.g., to make corrections or add text. Touch the left half
of a word and the cursor will be positioned at the start of this word. Touch the right half and the cur-
sor will be positioned at the end of this word.
Text entered afterwards will be inserted before this word.
Returning to idle status
¤Briefly press end call key a.
Or:
¤If you do not press any key and do not touch the display, the display automatically reverts to idle
status after approximately three minutes.
