Version 4, 16.09.2005
Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Only use the mains adapters supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢page 66) as this could oth-
erwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical con-
ditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
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 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 charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base
is not splashproof (¢page 66).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint
shops).
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the
user guide.
Please remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service depart-
ment, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

Setting up the base and handset charging cradle
The base and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature
range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤Install the base on a level, non-slip surface in a central location in your house or flat.
Please note
Make sure you observe the range of the base for the handset connection.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings.
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.
¤The display is protected by a plastic film. Please remove the protective film!
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electri-
cal devices.
uProtect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
Connecting the base
¤Connect the receiver to the
telephone using the coiled cable
supplied 1.
¤Connect the telephone jack 2.
¤Then connect the mains adapter 3.
¤Insert the cables into the cable
ducts.
Please note:
uThe mains adapter must always be
connected, as the phone will not
operate without a mains connec-
tion.
¤Only use the mains adapter and
phone cord supplied. Pin connec-
tions on telephone cables can vary
(pin connections ¢page 67).

Setting up the handset for use

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Warning
Only use the rechargeable batteries (¢page 66) recommended by Gigaset Communica-
tions GmbH, i.e. never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries, as this could result in
significant health risks and personal injury. For example, 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.
¤Insert the batteries the right way round.
The polarity is indicated in/on the battery
compartment.
¤First insert the battery cover at the top.
Then press the cover until it clicks into
place.
If you need to open the battery cover, for
instance to replace the batteries, place your
fingertip in the cavity at the lower side of the
cover and pull the battery cover upwards.

Placing the handset in the charging cradle
¤Place the handset in the charging cradle with its display facing forward.
The handset delivered is registered with the base at the factory. You do not need to complete a
registration. If you wish to use your handset with a different base or use further handsets with
your base, you will have to register the handset manually, ¢page 39.
To charge the batteries, leave the handset in the charging cradle.
Initial charging and discharging of the batteries
The correct charge level can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully charged and dis-
charged.
Please note
Only place the handset in the charging cradle that is intended for it.
Please note
uAfter the first battery charge and discharge you may replace your handset in the charg-
ing cradle after every call.
uAlways repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the batteries from
the handset and reinsert them.
uThe batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.
¤Place the handset in the charging cradle for 10
hours.
¤Then remove the handset
from the charging cradle
and do not replace it until
the batteries are fully dis-
charged.
