Gigaset GO: For the fixed line network with a future
Make telephony at home flexible with this Gigaset GO phone. There are three connection
alternatives, as well as all the GO functions.
Making calls using the analogue fixed line network
Connect the phone to your analogue fixed line connection (PSTN). Plug the phone cable into the
fixed line connection. You can then
•Use the analogue line to make phone calls
•Use the integrated answer machine
•Use the other functions of your Gigaset phone (directory, call lists etc.)
Making calls over the Internet
Connect the phone to a router . In this case, ignore the phone cable and plug the network cable
into a LAN connection on your router. Register the phone with your internet telephony provider
(IP). With this connection, you can
•Hold two calls at the same time
•Assign a separate number to each handset
•Make calls using different telephony providers
•Set up three answer machines with individual recording and advisory texts
•Use the other functions of your Gigaset phone (directory, call lists etc.).
Making calls using the analogue fixed line network and over the Internet
If you have both an analogue fixed line connection and an Internet connection, you can use the
functions of both connections, e. g. hold a fixed line call and two Internet calls at the same time.
New functions of the Gigaset GO phones
In addition to the functions of previous analogue or IP phones, Gigaset GO phones also offer
further new options:
•Make calls between Gigaset GO phones across the world free of charge via Gigaset.net
•Display online services information, e. g. weather tickers or eBay messages
•Use online directories (not available in all countries)
•Use cloud services and smartphone apps for connecting between fixed line network
phones and smartphones: e. g. receive notifications on your smartphone if there is an
incoming call or a voice message on the GO phone at home or transfer smartphone
contacts to the GO phone
The range of functions is constantly updated.

Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the device to your children.
The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit emer-
gency calls.
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is activated!
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such as
bathrooms or shower rooms.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Use only the cables supplied for fixed line and LAN connection and connect these to the intended
ports only.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Specifications"). Never
use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant
health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be
replaced.
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.
Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause injury to
hands and face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.
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 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 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.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in
your particular environment, e.g., doctor's surgery.
If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. 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 "Specifications").

¤Position the base station on a level, non-slip surface at a central point in the flat or house, or
mount it onto the wall.
The device's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of
different varnishes and polishes used on furniture, contact marks on the surfaces cannot be
completely ruled out.

devices.
Protect your telephone from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
