The desktop phone is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C
to +45°C.
¤Set up the desktop phone at a central point in the building.
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.

version 30.00.
Whenever there are new or improved functions for your Gigaset, firmware
updates are made available for you to download to your desktop phone

the Internet at www.gigaset.com.
Select the product to open the relevant product page for your desktop phone
where you will find a link to the user guide.
To find out what version of firmware is currently loaded (¢page 104).

If you wish to operate handsets from your desktop phone, consider the range of
the desktop phone. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up
to 50 m inside buildings. The range is reduced when eco mode is activated
(¢page 74).
Warning
uNever expose the telephone to any of the following: Heat sources, direct sun-
light or other electrical appliances.

3. Connection wizard
Using the connection wizard, you can assign the previously configured numbers
(ISDN MSNs, ¢page 16) to internal parties (desktop phone, handsets and desktop
phone answering machines as well as any connected fax machine, ¢page 85) as
send and receive connections, if necessary.
uReceive connections are numbers (MSNs) on which you can be called. You can
assign the MSNs for internal parties as the receive connection. Incoming calls are
only diverted to the terminals to which the relevant receive connection has
been assigned. Terminals are e.g., desktop phone, handsets or answering
machines or a connected fax machine.
uSend connections are the numbers (MSNs) that are sent to the called party.
The network provider calculates charges based on the send connections.
You can assign a fixed MSN as a send connection to each internal party.
uEvery MSN can be both a send and receive connection. You can assign each MSN
to multiple handsets, the desktop phone and a connected fax machine as a send
and/or receive connection. It may only be assigned to an answering machine as
a receive connection.
Once a Gigaset handset has been suc-
cessfully registered, it will change to
idle mode. The handset's internal name
is shown on the display (INT 2, INT 3 to
INT 7).
Please note
uBy default, the desktop phone is assigned the internal name INT 1 and the
internal number 1.
uThe desktop phone assigns the lowest free internal number to the handset
(possible numbers: 2–7). The handset's internal name is shown in the display
e.g., INT 2. This means that the handset has been assigned the internal
number 2.
uThe internal numbers and names of all registered handsets can be changed
(¢page 78).
