Gigaset S810/S810A – more than just a telephone
Gigaset S810-S810A / IM-NORD EN / A31008-M2306-R201-1-7619 / introduction.fm / 21.04.2011
Version 4.1, 21.11.2007
Gigaset S810/S810A – 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 excellent, providing
you with first-class voice quality in handsfree mode, while the various interfaces
(Bluetooth, USB) offer you enormous flexibility.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very sim-
ple to use.
Your phone can do a whole lot more:
uCommunicate cordlessly via Bluetooth™ with other devices (e. g. headsets),
which also use this technology.
uYou can synchronise your directories on your telephone, mobile phone and PC
via Bluetooth™ or the USB port using the Gigaset QuickSync software
(¢page 86).
uYou can save appointments (¢page 60) and anniversaries, e.g., birthdays
(¢page 39), in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.
uYou can designate important people as VIPs to identify important calls from the
ringtone (¢page 36).
uYou can assign a picture to entries in the directory – in future the picture will
appear every time you receive a call from this number (¢page 36).
uIf you do not want to take calls where the caller has withheld their number, just
set your handset to only ring if Calling Line Identification has not been withheld
(¢page 73).
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 (¢page 73). VIP calls are still
connected.
uYou can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone.
The number is then dialled by simply pressing a key (¢page 69).
uAdapt your Gigaset to suit your handsfree requirements (¢page 72).
uView your personal pictures as a screensaver slide show (¢page 70).
uYou can set the display to large font to increase readability in particularly impor-
tant situations (e.g., the directory and lists) (¢page 71).
uYou can adapt the menu display to suit your individual requirements so thatonly
the most important functions (standard mode) or all functions (expert mode
•) are displayed (¢page 26). Menu options that are only available in expert
mode are marked with the •icon.
uGigaset Green Home – Be environmentally aware when using your phone.

Safety precautions
Warning
Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on
page 83, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.
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. Please refer to the “Appendix” chapter
for the specifications of this Gigaset product.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when handsfree
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 handset may cause an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids
or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid
supplier.
Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and
charger are not splashproof (¢page 83).
Do not use your phone 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 bases from use or have them repaired by our Service department, as
they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
uNot all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to trans-
mit emergency calls.

Setting up the base and charger (if included)
The base and charger are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of
+5°C to +45°C.
¤Set up the base at a central point in the building on a level, non-slip surface or
mount the base (Gigaset S810 only) or charger on the wall (¢page 91).
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.
uProtect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
Connecting the base
¤First connect the tel-
ephone jack 2and
insert the cables into
the cable ducts.
¤Then connect the
power adapter 1.
Please note:
uThe power adapter must always be connected, as the phone will not operate
without a mains connection.
uUse only the power adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on tele-
phone cables can vary (pin connections ¢page 84).
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside build-
ings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (¢page 59) is activated.

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Warning
Use only rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications

the outer casing of the batteries could be damaged 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.

the polarity in the cor-
rect direction.
The polarity is indicated

Please note
uEach handset is registered with the base at the factory. You do not need to
register the handset again. If you wish to use your handset with a different
base or use further handsets with your base, you will need to register the
handset manually (¢page 62).
uAfter the initial battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in
the base after every call.
