Proximity sensor
The proximity sensor detects when you approach the
telephone and lights up the keypad and display. A call is
automatically answered by speaking handsfree.
Prerequisite: the caller is stored under a Name key and
“Automatic call pick-up” is activated (see page 6).
Note: An automatically answered call is ended like any
other call in handsfree mode (see page 4).
Important numbers under Name keys
For quick access to important numbers, you can save up
to 6 numbers under Name keys and label them accord-
ingly (see page 5). The complete number must be stored
(including area code).
Easy to recognise incoming and missed calls
The Gigaset 5040 also indicates visually when you
receive a call:
◆The Name key flashes if the caller is stored (see
page 5).
◆The Calls list key flashes if the caller is not stored
under a Name key (see page 9).
◆The calling number is shown in the display if Calling
Line Identification (CLI) is possible (see page 9).
You can also quickly access numbers which called in
your absence:
◆The Name key is lit up if the caller is stored.
◆The Calls list key is lit up if the caller is not stored
under a Name key. You can scroll through all missed
calls.
Safety precautions
When installing, connecting and operating the tele-
phone, always observe the following precautions:
◆Only use the plugs and leads supplied.
◆Only connect the connecting lead to the socket/jack
