Safety precautions

Version 4, 16.09.2005
Safety precautions
Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents to your children as well as the potential hazards associated with using the tel-
ephone.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
station.
Only fit the recommended rechargeable batteries of the same type
(page 38)! In other words, do not use any other battery type or non-rechargea-
ble batteries as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Fit rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity and use them according to
this user guide (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compart-
ment, page 9).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, for example doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the reverse side of the handset to your ear if the handset is ringing
or if the handsfree function is switched on. Otherwise, you risk developing seri-
ous, permanent hearing damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and
base station are not splash proof (page 36).
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, for
example auto paint shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the
user guide.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the
municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the
government or the local authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is
covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help pre-
vent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic
equipment.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please con-
tact your local council refuse centre or the original supplier of the product.
Please note:
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

SOS mode
Your Gigaset E365 is equipped with a special SOS function or SOS procedure. You can use
this SOS procedure to request assistance in case of emergency. You can store up to four
SOS numbers.
The SOS numbers can be stored on the SOS/direct dialling key I. In case of an emergency,
you then only have to press the direct dialling key I. The SOS procedure is initiated when
you press this key.
The SOS procedure automatically dials the first SOS number you entered. If this number is
busy or if the person called is not at home, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next
SOS number.
In order to use the SOS procedure, you have to first program the SOS/direct dialling key I
and activate SOS mode (page 18).
iWhen SOS mode is activated, the SOS LED lights up permanently in the SOS key on
the handset and base station!

Version 4, 16.09.2005
SOS procedure
The way the SOS procedure operates is described below.
Recipients of the emergency call must have set their telephones to tone dialling as other-
wise confirmation of the SOS call with key 5 will not be recognized.
Press the SOS/direct dialling key é on the base station and the device dials immedi-
ately.
You have to press and hold the SOS/direct dialling key é on the handset to launch the
function immediately.
If you just press the key briefly and don't hold it down, you have to confirm with §Yes§ to
prevent an emergency call from being initiated inadvertently.
Å
The first SOS number is dialled as soon as you press the SOS direct dialling key. At the
same time, the message "Sending emergency call" is played back via the loudspeaker.
Å
If the SOS call is answered, the callee automatically first hears the message "This is an
emergency call". Your name is then played back after this message. You must have pro-
grammed the SOS key accordingly in order for your name to be announced (see page 18).
This is followed by the message "To accept the call please press 5". If the callee now
presses key 5, you can converse with one another.
Å
If the callee does not answer the call, for example because s/he is not at home or his/her
answering machine is switched on, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next SOS
number. The SOS procedure switches automatically to the next SOS number after 60 sec-
onds in the following cases:
uThe call is not answered
uThe answering machine for the selected SOS number is switched on
uThe SOS number is busy
Å
The procedure is repeated at most four times. If none of the calls is answered, the SOS
procedure is ended with an error tone.
i
– During the entire procedure, all SOS keys flash on all registered handsets and on
the base station. The message "Sending emergency call" is issued on the handset
that triggered the emergency call.
– If an internal call is programmed additionally, the SOS call can also be answered by
an internal user. The text "Emergency call" is output on all registered handsets and
the base station.
– You should perform a test run of the SOS procedure to ensure that SOS mode is
programmed correctly. The police, rescue services or fire brigade must not be used
for a test run.
– Please note that the standby time of the handset will be reduced when SOS mode
is activated.
– The SOS LED lights up permanently when SOS mode is activated!

Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recom-
mended by Gigaset Communications GmbH *
on page 38. Never use a conventional (non-
rechargeable) battery or other battery types as
this could result in significant health risks and
personal injury. For example, the batteries
could explode. The phone could also malfunc-
tion or be damaged as a result of using batter-
ies that are not of the recommended type.

Version 4, 16.09.2005
Opening the battery cover
¤If fitted, remove the belt clip.
¤Reach into the housing cavity and pull
the battery cover upwards.
Placingthehandsetinthebasestation
and registering
Requirement: the handset must not
already be registered on any base station.
Registering the handset on the Gigaset
E365 base station occurs automatically.
¤Place the handset in the charging cra-
dle of the base station with its display
facing forward.
You will hear a confirmation tone.
Automatic registration can take up to
5 minutes. While registration is in
progress the screen displays Registering .
The handset is assigned the lowest unas-
signed internal number (1–4). If several
handsets are registered on the base, the
internal number is shown in the display
after registration, for example 2. This
means that the handset has been assigned
the internal number 2.
¤To charge the batteries, leave the hand-
set in the charging cradle on the
base station.
For questions and problems see page 36.
Please note:
– Automatic registration is only possible if
the base station on which you wish to reg-
ister the handset is not being used to make
a call.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– If four handsets are already registered on
the base station there are two options:
– The handset with the internal number 4
is in idle status: the handset you wish to
register is assigned the number 4. The
handset that was previously number 4 is
de-registered.
– The handset with the internal number 4
is being used: the handset you wish to
register cannot be registered.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually
(page 30).
Please note:
– The handset may only be placed in the
base/charging cradle provided for it.
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the batteries are flat and is then
placed in the base/cradle, it will switch
itself on automatically.

Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
Battery charging is indicated in the top
right of the display by a flashing battery
icon e, Vor U. During handset
operation, the battery icon indicates the
charge status of the batteries (page 1).
The correct charge status can only be dis-
played when the batteries are first fully
charged and discharged through use.
¤To do this, leave the handset in the
base without interruption until the bat-
tery icon stops flashing in the display
(approx. 6h).
¤Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the base and
do not put it back again until the batter-
ies are fully discharged.
Please remember:
uAlways repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and re-
insert them.
uThe batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a time the charge capacity of the
batteries will decrease for technical rea-
sons.
