Gigaset CX610 ISDN – more than just a telephone

Gigaset CX610 ISDN – more than just a telephone
Your ISDN connection offers you two telephone lines simultaneously.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu make your
phone very simple to use.
Your phone can do a whole lot more:
uUse your Gigaset as a PABX – register up to six handsets. Assign each device its
own phone number (MSN).
uConfiguring your Gigaset is easy thanks to the wizards – they determine the
MSNs for your ISDN connection (provider-specific) and help you to register
handsets and assign send and receive MSNs to the handset (¢page 16).
uYou can save anniversaries, e.g., birthdays, in your phone and it will remind you
of them in advance.
uAllocate important people to one of six VIP groups so you can identify important
calls from the ringtone and the colour of the assigned VIP group.
uIf you only want to accept calls when you can see the number, you can set your
handset to only ring when the phone number is transmitted.
uYou can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone (quick
dial). You can then dial the number by simply pressing a key.
uSet the display to large print to increase readability in particularly important
screens (e.g., the directory and lists).
uGigaset Green Home — be environmentally aware when using your phone.

Version 4.1, 21.11.2007
Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Use only the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢page 74) as this could oth-
erwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the tech-
nical conditions in your particular environment, e.g., doctor's surgery.
If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufac-
turer. 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.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker
mode is activated. This may cause 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 an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids
or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid
supplier.
Do not install the base and charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base
and charger are not splashproof (¢page 74).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint
shops).
If you give your phone to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.
Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service department, as
they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
uNot all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to trans-
mit emergency calls.

Version 4.1, 21.11.2007
Setting up the base
The base is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤Set up the base on a level, non-slip surface at a central point in the building or
mount the base on the wall (¢page 79).
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the
multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, 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 base
¤First connect the
power adapter 2.
¤Then connect the
telephone jack 1
and insert the cables
into the cable ducts.
Please note:
uThe power adapter
must always be connected, as the phone will not operate without a mains con-
nection.
uOnly use the power adapter and phone cord supplied.
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside build-
ings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (¢page 53).

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Warning
Only use rechargeable batteries (¢page 74) recommended by Gigaset Com-
munications GmbH i.e., never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery, as
this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the
outer casing of the batteries could be damaged or 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 with
the polarity in the cor-
rect direction.
The polarity is indicated
in/on the battery com-
partment.
¤First insert the battery
cover at the top a.
¤Then press the cover b
until it clicks into place.
To open the battery cover, for
instance to replace the batteries,
insert a coin into the cavity on the
casing, then pull the battery cover

Initial charging and discharging of the batteries
The correct charge level can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully charged
and discharged.
¤Charge the handset for 10 hours in the base.
¤After charging, remove the handset from the base and only replace it when the

charging cradle.
10 h
Please note
uEach handset is registered with the base at the factory. You do not need to
register the handset again. If you wish to use your handset with a different
base or use additional handsets with your base, you have to register the
handset manually (¢page 54).
uAfter the first battery charge and discharge, you may replace your handset
in its base after every call.
uAlways repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and reinsert them.
uThe batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical
reasons.

Setting up the phone – installation wizard
A few settings are needed before you start using your telephone. The installation
wizard is designed to help you with this.

¤Press the message key fto start the ISDN wizard.
You can also access the ISDN wizard at any time via the menu (¢page 30).

ISDN wizard: finding/entering the connection's MSNs
Several personal numbers (MSNs) were provided by the network provider when
you received your ISDN connection confirmation. You can save up to ten numbers
(MSNs) on your phone. If no MSN has been entered, you can do the following with
the ISDN wizard:
uAssign the MSNs for your connection i.e., call them up from the exchange (auto-
matic MSN assignment) or enter them manually.
Please note: not every ISDN provider supports automatic MSN finding. If this
feature is not supported, then you must enter the MSNs for your connection
manually (¢page 63).

can use connection wizard to assign the previously configured numbers to internal
parties as well as to receive and, where necessary, send connections.

only diverted to the internal parties to which the relevant receive connection
has been assigned.
¤Press the display key §OK§ to start

uSend connections are the numbers (MSNs) that are sent to the called party. The
network provider calculates charges based on the send connections. You can
assign a fixed MSN as a send connection to each internal party.
uEvery MSN can be both a send and receive connection. You can assign each MSN
to multiple handsets as a receive connection.
After registration/getting started, the handsets are assigned all MSNs as receive
connections. The base number (usually MSN1) is assigned to the devices as a send
connection.
