Safety information
●Do not immerse cells in water; do not throw them into
fire.
●Do not dispose of old, defective cells in normal house-
hold waste.
●Cells become warm during charging. This is normal
and not dangerous.
●Do not use other manufacturers’ charger units. The
cells could suffer damage.
●Use only the supplied plug-in power unit, code no.
C39280-Z4-C96.
●Make sure you connect the plugs of the base station
correctly, otherwise abnormally high voltages may be
produced across the charging contacts for brief inter-
vals, e.g. during thunderstorms.
●The mobile unit must not be operated in rooms with
explosion hazards.
Only use approved nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal-hybrid batteries! (➔page 4).
Never use other types of battery or ordinary
(non-rechargeable) batteries, since these can
cause short-circuits or destruction of the battery
shell (dangerous!). The following labels are
attached to the battery compartments of the
mobile and charger units:

+Only use rechargeable batte-
ries; polarity as shown!

Putting the equipment into operation - step by step
Follow the installation and setup instructions “step by
step” as described in the following:
1st step: reading the safety information
2nd step: checking the contents of the package
When delivered, the package contains the following:
●one Gigaset 2015 base station (see also label with CE
sign on lower part of base station)
●one Gigaset 2000S standard mobile unit (see also
marking on rear of mobile unit),
●one telephone connecting cable with Mini-Western
plug and telephone plug
●one power connecting cable with Mini-Western plug
and power supply unit
●one cover for battery compartment of mobile unit
●one carrying clip for mobile unit
●two batteries
●one set of operating instructions
3rd step: Connecting the base station
Before starting, make sure you have studied
the safety information carefully (➔page 8)!

Telephone connecting cable
Insert the Mini-Western plug of the telephone connecting
cable in the base station. The jack on the lower part of the
base station housing has the following symbol:
Connect the telephone plug of the telephone connecting
cable to the telephone socket.
Power connecting cable
Insert the Mini-Western plug of the power connecting
cable in the base station. The jack on the lower part of the
base station housing has the following symbol:
Connect the power supply unit of the power connecting
cable to a 220/230V socket.
4th step: inserting the batteries in the mobile unit
The mobile unit is powered by two batteries.
.
Hold the mobile unit with the keypad downwards.
Insert the batteries in the battery compartment.
Slide the cover for the battery compartment into the
groove on the mobile unit and close the compartment.
Cover of battery
compartment
Battery compartment
and batteries
Make sure that the batteries have the correct
+/– polarity. The +/– markings on the batteries
must correspond to the +/– markings on the
label in the battery compartment.
If the batteries are aligned wrongly, the mobile
unit will not function and the equipment is liable
to be damaged.
If you wear a hearing aid, please note before
using the telephone that radio signals can inter-
fere with hearing aids and, if sufficiently loud,
can cause a very unpleasant humming noise.

5th step: charging the batteries
To charge the batteries, place the mobile unit in the hand-
set rest on the base station. The charging contacts on the
lower edge of the mobile unit must touch the contacts in
the handset rest on the base station. It is immaterial
whether the keypad is facing up or down.
If you have inserted the mobile unit correctly, an acknowl-
edgement tone is heard. The LED beneath the battery
symbol is lit on the base station. A battery symbol also
appears on the display of the mobile unit.
The batteries must be charged before you can
start making calls.
We recommend initially charging the batteries
for approximately 16 hours without interruption
(over night, for example).
For further information on the use of the
batteries see ➔page 4.
Before making your first call, you should check
(and, if necessary, reset) the dialling method
(➔page 11). The default setting for your Giga-
set 2015 is dual-tone multifrequency signalling
(DTMF).

Important information on setup and operation
Notes on setting up the base station
You should take the following points into account when
deciding where to install the base station:
●There must be a 220V/230V power socket in the vi-
cinity.
●The base station should not be located in the imme-
diate vicinity of other electronic devices, such as a hi-
fi system, a microwave oven or office equipment,
otherwise there is a risk of mutual interference.
●The base station is designed for operation in protect-
ed rooms with a temperature range from +5°C to
+45°C. For example, it should not be set up in a
bathroom, laundry room or damp basement or
directly adjacent to sources of heat, such as radiators.
Direct sunlight must also be avoided.
●Place the base station on a level, non-slip surface.
The device feet do not normally leave any unsightly
marks. However, in view of the many different var-
nishes and polishes currently used for furniture, the
possibility of telephone components leaving marks
on the mounting surface cannot be entirely ruled out.
●Radio communication between the base station and
the mobile units is based on the Digital Enhanced
Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard. If
you have any problems with radio transmission,
please get in touch with your dealer.

Attaching carrying clip to mobile unit
If desired, you can attach the carrying clip supplied with
the unit, e.g. to carry the mobile unit in the pocket of your
jacket.
Hold the mobile unit with the keypad facing the palm of
your hand. You will see two small holes on the sides, level
with the display. Place the clip in one hole and then push
it into the opposite hole until it clicks into place.
Operation with telephone changeover switch
You can operate the Gigaset 2015 “behind” a telephone
changeover switch, e.g. an automatic changeover switch.
Since, however, the Gigaset 2015 has neither a grounding
wire nor a W-wire, telephone changeover switches with
loop current supervision are required. These can be ob-
tained from retail outlets.
Never use ordinary batteries.
Only use approved batteries.
