Safety precautions
Warning:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
station or charging cradle.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 128), i.e. never
use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this
could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the
local waste disposal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your
local authority or the dealer you purchased the product from.
Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity, and use them in accord-
ance with this user guide (polarity symbols can be seen in or on the handset's
battery compartment, page 10).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions 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
the handsfree function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent
damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
The handset, base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 120).
Do not use the 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 base stations from use or have them repaired by our
service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

ject to European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to
prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a require-
ment for the re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact
your local authority, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased

Gigaset S675 IP – more than just a telephone
Gigaset S675 IP / ALGERIAN eng / A31008-M1915-A751-1-3T19 / starting.fm / 27.10.08
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Gigaset S675 IP –
more than just a telephone
Your phone lets you make calls both via
the fixed line network and (cost effec-
tively) via the Internet (VoIP) without
using a PC.
Your phone can do much more besides:
uMake calls with brilliant sound quality
(High Definition Sound Performance
HDSP, page 9) – for internal calls or
calls via VoIP.
uPress a button each time you make a
call to indicate whether you want to call
via the fixed line network or the Inter-
net (page 24).
uRegister up to six handsets on your
base station. With your base station,
you can simultaneously conduct two
calls via VoIP and one call via the fixed
line network.
uMultiline: Set up a maximum of six
VoIP accounts with your VoIP provider.
Together with your fixed line number,
your phone can then be reached via up
to seven different phone numbers.
uAssign each handset its own VoIP
number as a send and receive number.
If a member of your family is called on
their VoIP number, only their handset
will ring (page 106).
uSetting dialling plans for phone num-
bers or area codes enables you to auto-
mate the selection of the VoIP connec-
tion (page 110).
uDetermine which of your phone
numbers should be answered by the
answer machine (page 107).
uConfigure the phone connection for
VoIP without a PC. Your phone's con-
nection assistant guides you through
entering your personal data (VoIP/SIP
account). This makes it easy for you to
start using VoIP (page 15).
uIf necessary, make any further VoIP set-
tings on a PC. The phone features a
Web interface (Web configurator) that
can be accessed via your PC's Web
browser (page 92).
uUse instant messaging on your hand-
set. Go online and see which of your
messenger contacts (buddies) are also
online. Exchange SMS messages with
your buddies or simply give them a call
(page 63). .
uLet your phone tell you, without
requiring a PC, about new e-mail mes-
sages in your mailbox (page 60). Use
your handset to delete old e-mail mes-
sages from your mailbox.
uMake sure your phone is always up-to-
date. Keep yourself informed about
firmware updates on the Internet and
download them onto your phone
(page 88).
uReduce the transmission power of
the base station and handset. Activate
eco mode on your phone (page 18).
Enjoy using your new phone!
Your Gigaset S675 IP has a protected operating
system that offers increased security against
viruses from the Internet.

VoIP – making calls via the Internet
Gigaset S675 IP / ALGERIAN eng / A31008-M1915-A751-1-3T19 / starting.fm / 27.10.08
Version 4, 16.09.2005
VoIP – making calls via
the Internet
With VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol),
your calls are not made via a fixed connec-
tion as in the telephone network, but
rather they are transmitted via the Inter-
net in the form of data packets.
You can take advantage of all the benefits
of VoIP with your phone:
uYou can make cost-effective calls in
high voice quality with callers on the
Internet, the fixed line network or the
mobile phone network.
uYour VoIP provider will give you per-
sonal numbers, with which you can be
reached from the Internet, the fixed
line network and any mobile phone
network.
To be able to use VoIP, you need the
following:
uA broadband Internet connection
(e.g. DSL) with flat rate (recom-
mended) or volume-based price.
uInternet access, i.e. you need a router
that will connect your phone to the
Internet.
You can find a list of recommended
routers on the Internet at:
www.gigaset.com/customercare
Here, go to the FAQ page and select
your Gigaset IP phone. Search for
"Router", for example.
uAccess to the services of a VoIP pro-
vider. Open up to six accounts with
your VoIP provider.
Gigaset HDSP – telephony
with brilliant sound quality
Your Gigaset IP
phone supports the
Broadband codec
G.722. With your
base station and the
corresponding hand-
set, you can thus make calls via VoIP with
brilliant sound quality (High Definition
Sound Performance).
If you register further broadband-capable
handsets (e.g. Gigaset S67H, S68H or
SL37H) with your base station, internal
calls between these handsets will also be
conducted via broadband.
Preconditions for broadband connections
to your base station are:
uFor internal calls:
Both handsets are broadband-capable,
i.e. both support codec G.722.
uFor external calls via VoIP:
– You make the call from a broadband-
capable handset.
– You have selected codec G.722 for
outgoing calls (page 103).
– Your VoIP provider supports broad-
band connections.
– The recipient's phone supports
codec G.722 and accepts the estab-
lishment of a broadband connec-
tion.
