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.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the
base station.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢page 74) as this
could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions 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 handsfree 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 74).
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.
Please note
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
Warning
This equipment will be rendered inoperable when main power fails.

Gigaset SL780/SL785 – more than just a telephone

Gigaset SL780/SL785 – more than just a telephone
Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home.
The configuration and user interface of the cordless phone are unique, provid-
ing you with first-class voice quality in handsfree mode, while the various ports
(Bluetooth, USB) offer you high flexibility.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very
simple to use.
It can do a whole lot more:
uYou can use Bluetooth™ for wireless communication with other devices
(e.g. headsets) that also use this technology.
uSynchronise your address books on your telephone, mobile phone and PC
with BluetoothTM or via the USB port using the Gigaset QuickSync software.
uYou can save appointments and anniversaries in your phone and it will
remind you of them in advance.
uYou can designate important people as VIPs so you can identify important
calls from the ring tone.
uIf you do not wish to be disturbed, you can simply set up a time control
so that your phone will only ring when it is convenient. VIP calls will still be
connected.
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.
uGigaset Green Home – Be environmentally aware when using your phone.

Version 4, 16.09.2005
Installing the base station and charging cradle
The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry
rooms with a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤Install the base station on a level, non-slip surface in a central location in
your house or flat or mount the base station 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,
the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight
or other electrical devices.
