Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the device to your chil-
dren.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see
"Technical Data"). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other bat-
tery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.
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 (for the specifications of your Gigaset
product see "Technical Data").
Do 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 hear-
ing.
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 phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling)
or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid
supplier.
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp envi-
ronment such as bathrooms or shower rooms.
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g., paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure you also give them the user
guide.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these
could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to trans-
mit emergency calls.
uEmergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock is activated!

Getting started
Getting started
Checking the package contents
One Gigaset handset, one battery cover (rear cover of the handset), two batteries, one charger
with charger cradle, one belt clip, one rubber seal for the USB connection, 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.
¤Set up the charger on a level, non-slip surface, or mount the charger on the wall.
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 sur-
faces 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 charger
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base. In buildings this is up to 50 m, outdoors up to 300 m.
The range is reduced when ECO DECT (¢page 22) is activated.
¤Connect the flat plug to the charger cradle .
¤Plug the charger cradle into the plug socket .
If you have to remove the plug from the charger again:
¤Disconnect the charger cradle from the mains
power supply.
¤Press the release button and disconnect the
plug .

Please do not use any touchscreen styli to operate the handset.
Do not use any protective sleeves/films from other manufacturers,

GmbH, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury. For
example, the outer casing of the batteries could be destroyed 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 correct
direction.
The polarity is indicated in the
battery compartment.
¤Insert the battery cover
from above.
¤Then press the cover until
it clicks into place.

see what number is calling on the display (providing you have the caller ID function on your line).
There will be a button on the screen to either accept or reject the call.
Optus (Australia) and Telecom (New Zealand):
The handset you have purchased has the required information to work seamlessly with the
Optus network in Australia and the Telecom network in New Zealand. However there are some
settings that need to be changed before these settings are activated.

steps.
Changing the recall value:

Please consider that the recall value is set to 100ms after a base reset.
For other providers other recall values are possible
The most common providers instructions for Call Waiting are as follows.

These processes depend on the network provider and are subject to change.
