Information on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets the limits for protecting the health of the public from the effecs of
exposure to electromagnetic fields when it is operated in connection with the desig-
nated antenna(s) like described in the user manual.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to emission from electromagnetic fields recommended
by international guidelines from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radia-
tion Protection (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines for the pro-
tection of the public and establish permitted levels of exposure to electromagnetic radi-
ation for the population. The guidelines were confirmed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regard-
less of age and health.
The exposure limit employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for
SAR are conducted in all frequency bands with the device transmitting at its highest
power level with minimum possibledistance to the body. The actual SAR level of the
device during operation with the designated antenna(s) is below the maximum value
and is additonally decreased by a distance to the device. This is because the device is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
enable seamless network connection.
Notes on the user guide
This user guide describes how to set up and configure the Gigaset SE680 WiMAX
modem. Installation of the individual components is dealt with in the assembly instruc-
tions, which you received together with the Gigaset SE680 WiMAX modem.
ìPlease read the user guide carefully before using the devices for the first time.

The Gigaset SE680 WiMAX
What is WiMAX?
WiMAX stands for "Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access", a modern wire-
less network technology that enables fast Internet connection even in remote areas.
With WiMAX technology you are no longer dependent on a DSL infrastructure in your
home or place of work. Instead, you connect your PC or network wirelessly to radio
stations operated in your region by your provider. As a result, WiMAX gives you fast,
economical broadband Internet access, even in places that are not connected to the DSL
cable network.
The WiMAX standard IEEE 802.16 generally defines WiMAX technology. Your Gigaset
SE680 WiMAX modem already meets the latest IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard, a mobile
WiMAX standard that offers many extra possibilities.
The Gigaset SE680 WiMAX modem
With your Gigaset SE680 WiMAX modem, you can make use of everything the Internet
has to offer:
uDownloads
– Even large files download quickly to your PC.
– Complex Website designs are no longer characterised by the time they take to
download – you can enjoy flash animation and high-resolution graphics immedi-
ately after clicking on a link.
uAudio
– Play back audio files straight from the Internet.
– Listen to the radio via the Internet in superb digital quality.
uVideo
– View short or longer films you find on the Internet without tedious waiting times.
– Watch television via the Internet (IPTV).
– Use "Video on Demand" and order films that are transmitted to you via the
Internet.
uReal time
– Take part in video conferences and feel as if you are sitting in the same room as
the people you are talking to.
– Speak to and see your chat partners.
uVoIP
– Benefit from the economical telephone rates for Internet telephony (Voice over
IP, VoIP). Your PC does not even need to be switched on.

uOutdoor modem with integrated antennas (X-pol)
uExternal antenna (optional)
uIndoor unit
This user guide assumes that the work required for outside installation has already been
carried out.
Therefore, installation is described below starting with how to put the indoor unit into
service.
WThe Gigaset SE680 WiMAX modem must be assembled and put into serv-
ice by a qualified electrician.
The information in the enclosed assembly instructions must be noted.

Choosing the location
uChoose the location so that you can easily establish the following connections:
– Ethernet cable socket, which, for example, establishes the connection to the out-
door modem through a wall duct.
– Ethernet cable socket for connection with a PC or network.
– Connection of the power lead with a mains socket.
uFirst choose the location for the indoor unit:
– Consider the stated temperature range for the indoor unit when choosing the
location (see "Specifications" on page 46).
uThe indoor unit can be operated either on a horizontal surface or mounted on a wall.
Make sure the connections cannot become loose and that the LEDs are clearly visi-
ble.
uLay the cables in such a way that nobody can tread on or trip over them.
System requirements
To install and get started with the indoor unit, the following requirements must be ful-
filled:
uThe outdoor modem has been properly installed and is ready for use. The associated
Ethernet cable is fitted with an RJ45 plug and ends close to the indoor unit.
uPC with a LAN interface 10/100BaseT or an Ethernet network
10/100BaseT. The network adapter must support one of the following modes:
10BaseT Full Duplex, 100BaseT Half Duplex, 100BaseT Full Duplex.
uThe TCP/IP protocol has to be set up on the PC (standard installation for Windows XP
and Windows Vista; if you are using a different Windows operating system, read the
separate instructions on network configuration on the product CD, if necessary).
Wall mounting (optional)
The indoor unit is fitted with two clips for wall mounting. Wall mounting is not abso-
lutely necessary, but is recommended to make the cable connections mechanically
secure.
ìUse screws, anchor fittings and cable clamps to mount the indoor unit on a wall.
Make sure the LEDs are easily visible.

Connecting the Gigaset SE680 WiMAX modem
Set up the connections on the indoor unit in the following order:
1. Connect the outdoor modem.
2. Connect the PC or the switch/hub.
3. Connect the indoor unit to the mains power supply and switch all the devices on.
Connecting the outdoor modem
After the outdoor modem has been installed correctly, the associated Ethernet cable
(with RJ45 plug) is available close to the indoor unit.
ìInsert the Ethernet cable plug into the OUT socket on the indoor unit. You should be
able to hear the clips on the RJ45 plug click into place.
Connecting a PC or switch
!
Use either the Ethernet cable that is supplied or a standard network cable
(CAT-5) for the connection to the PC or switch. It does not matter if the
Ethernet cable has straight or crossed wiring.
You must use a shielded Ethernet cable.

Switching on the devices
ìConnect the power lead to the indoor unit.
ìConnect the power lead of the indoor unit to the mains power supply. The outdoor
modem is powered via the Ethernet cable and does not require its own mains con-
nection.
The system starts booting and performs a self-test.
After the self-test, the Gigaset SE680 WiMAX modem continually attempts to regis-
ter with a base station. Registration with the base station may be successful imme-
diately; otherwise, registration will take place when your Gigaset SE680 WiMAX
modem is being configured.
ìCheck the LEDs during startup:
LEDs during startup:
–TheON power supply LED lights up green, and the Gigaset SE680 WiMAX
modem starts a self-test.
–TheFAULT LED (red) and the CONNECT LED (green) light up for approximately 1
second and then go out. If the connection to the outdoor modem is then found
to be free from errors, the CONNECT LED is continuously lit up green. If an error
occurs, the FAULT and CONNECT LEDs start to flash alternately at regular inter-
vals.
!
Only use the Gigaset SE680 WiMAX modem with the supplied mains
cable.
