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.

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.

Connecting the charging cradle
The charging cradle is designed to be
operated in enclosed, dry areas at temper-
atures ranging from +5 °C to +45 °C.
Instructions on how to connect the
charging cradle and mount it on the wall
(if required) can be found on page 165.
¤To charge the batteries, leave the hand-
set in the charging cradle.
For questions and problems see page 120.
Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
If the handset is activated, the flashing
battery icon ein the top right of the dis-
play indicates that the batteries are being
charged.
During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the bat-
teries (page 1).
The correct charge status can only be dis-
played if the batteries are first fully
charged and discharged through use.
¤To do this, leave the handset in the
charging cradle without interruption
until the battery icon stops flashing in
the display (around 10 hours).
¤Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the charging
cradle and do not put it back again until
the batteries are fully discharged.
Please note:
uAlways repeat the charging and dis-
charging 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 rea-
sons.
Setting the date and time
The date and time must be set in order to
have the correct time for incoming calls
and to be able to use the alarm clock and
calendar.
If the date and time on the phone have not
yet been set, the §Time§ display key will
appear.
Please note:
– Only place the handset in the charging cra-
dle that is intended for it.
– If the handset has turned itself off because
the batteries are flat and is then placed in
the charging cradle, it will turn itself on
automatically.
Please note:
After the first battery charge and discharge,
you may place your handset in the charging
cradle after every call.
Please note:
You will find explanations for the symbols and
typographical conventions used in this user
guide in the appendix, page 129.
Please note:
The address of a time server on the Internet is
stored on your telephone. The date and time
are taken from this time server provided that
the base station is connected to the Internet
and synchronisation with the time server is
activated (page 118). Manual settings are
overwritten in this case.

Making settings for VoIP
telephony
Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to
phone any other numbers on the Internet,
the fixed line network or the mobile
phone network, you need the services of a
VoIP provider who supports the VoIP SIP
standard.
Precondition: You have set up at least one
VoIP account with your VoIP provider.
The following phone settings are neces-
sary in order for you to use VoIP. You can
obtain the following information from
your VoIP provider:
uYour user name with the VoIP provider,
if this is required by the VoIP provider
uYour registration name
uYour password with the VoIP provider
The connection assistant will help you
with the settings.
Starting the connection assistant
Precondition: The base station is con-
nected to the mains power supply and a
router. Your router is connected to the
Internet (page 14).
Tip: Leave VoIP activated as the default
connection for your telephone (default
setting, page 88). The telephone then
attempts to establish a connection
directly to your VoIP provider's server
after the connection assistant is closed.
If incorrect/incomplete information
means that the connection cannot be
established, messages will be displayed
(page 17).
As soon as the handset battery is suffi-
ciently charged, the message key  on
the handset will flash (approx. 20 minutes
after you have put the handset in the
charging cradle). Press the message key
to start the connection assistant.
You will see the following display:
§Yes§ Press the display key to start
the connection assistant.
Enter the system PIN (default
is 0000) and press §OK§.
Please note:
Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic
assignment of the IP address. In order for your
router to "recognise" the phone, dynamic IP
address assignment must also be activated on
the router, i.e. the router's DHCP server is acti-
vated. Turn to page 89 to find out how to
assign your phone a static IP address if neces-
sary.
Please note:
The connection assistant will also start auto-
matically if you try to establish a connection
via the Internet before you have made the nec-
essary settings.
You can also call up the connection assistant at
any time via the menu (page 89).

phone can establish a connection to the
VoIP server, then the internal name of the
handset will be displayed (example):
You can now use your phone to make calls
via the fixed line network and the Internet.
Callers can reach you on your fixed line
number and your VoIP number.
You can enter five additional VoIP accounts
(VoIP phone numbers) via the Web configura-
tor at a later stage (page 98). Your phone
(together with your fixed line number) can
then be reached on up to seven different
phone numbers. You can assign the phone
numbers to the individual handsets that are
registered with the base station as send and
receive numbers (page 106).
Please note:
When making these entries, please remember
the VoIP user data is case sensitive. When you
enter text, the first letter is capitalised by
default. If necessary, press and hold the 
key to switch between upper and lower case
and numbers.
Please note:
– To ensure that you can always be reached
via the Internet, the router must be perma-
nently connected to the Internet.
– If you try to make a call via a VoIP connec-
tion that is not configured correctly, the fol-
lowing VoIP status message will appear on
the display: IP configuration error: xxx or VoIP
config. error: xxx (xxx = VoIP status code).

ECO DECT:
reducing the transmission
power and power
consumption
The base station of your phone is an ECO
DECT base station, this means that:
uThe base station uses less power
because it is equipped with a power-
saving mains adaptor.
uThe reduction of the handset's trans-
mission power is dependent on the
handset's proximity to the base station.
uThe base station can also be switched
to eco mode. Eco mode reduces the
transmission power and power con-
sumption of the base station. This can
be set on your handset.
Activating/deactivating eco mode
Precondition: Repeater support must be
deactivated.
v¢¢Base ¢Add. Features
Eco Mode Select and press §OK§ (=on).
Eco mode enables an additional reduction
in the transmission power of the
Gigaset S67H/S68H handset. If, with
Eco mode activated, the transmission
power of both the base station and the
handset is reduced, the ½icon is shown
in the top line of the display.
Please note:
– Activating eco mode reduces the range of
the base station.
– Eco mode and repeater support cancel each
other out, i.e. both functions cannot be
used at the same time.
