For your safety
ìPlease read the safety instructions carefully before putting into service.
Safety precautions
General safety instructions
uIf you give the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX to someone else, make sure you also give them
its documentation.
uThe Gigaset SE681 WiMAX must only be used as described in these installation
instructions.
Safety instructions for connection
uOnly use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the Gigaset
SE681 WiMAX.
Safety precautions for the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX
uThe operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical con-
ditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
uThe Gigaset SE681 WiMAX and the antenna can interfere with the functioning of
medical devices such as pacemakers. Keep at least 20 cm between the devices and
the pacemaker. For more information, consult your doctor.
uThe device may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
uDo not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard, e.g. car
paint shops, or in a humid environment (bathroom etc.).
uThe Ethernet function is designed exclusively for connection inside a building.
Cleaning and care
Wipe the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX with a damp cloth (do not use solvent) or an antistatic
cloth.
Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.

Information about the optional outdoor antenna

Information on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets the limits for protecting the health of the public from the effecs of
exposure to electromagnetic fields when it is operated in connection with the desig-
nated antenna(s) like described in the user manual.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to emission from electromagnetic fields recommended
by international guidelines from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radia-
tion Protection (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines for the pro-
tection of the public and establish permitted levels of exposure to electromagnetic radi-
ation for the population. The guidelines were confirmed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regard-
less of age and health.
The exposure limit employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for
SAR are conducted in all frequency bands with the device transmitting at its highest
power level with minimum possibledistance to the body. The actual SAR level of the
device during operation with the designated antenna(s) is below the maximum value
and is additonally decreased by a distance to the device. This is because the device is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
enable seamless network connection.
Information about the optional outdoor antenna
Wall duct:
To connect the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX to the outdoor antenna, the antenna cable must
be fed through the wall to the outside of the building. It must be possible to make a suit-
able wall or window duct at or near the location of the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX.
Setting up the antenna mast:
There should not be any obstructions (walls, trees etc.) in front of the antenna.
W
Only one of the antennas listed on page 14 must be used.
The outdoor antenna must be installed and put into service by a qualified
electrician.
ìOnly commence the outdoor work once you have taken all the neces-
sary steps to make the location safe.
Be sure to observe the safety instructions.

The antenna mast must be structurally secure. Check how secure the various attach-
ments are.
The antenna mast must be within reach of the cable. Ideally, the antenna cable should
be protected outside (from frost, sun, unauthorised and mechanical influences etc.).
In particular, make sure the antenna mast has sufficient load capacity. If you are mount-
ing the mast on the roof, make sure the roof is fully sealed again afterwards.
Lightning protection
The antenna mast should be positioned near a lightning conductor. A suitable lightning
conductor must be installed where necessary.
The outdoor antenna is not designed to be struck directly by lightning and must be pro-
tected accordingly. The antenna must therefore be mounted in areas that are protected
against lightning (Lightning Protection Zone 0B). The corresponding separation dis-
tance (IEC 62305) must be complied with.
Earthing and lightning protection work may only be carried out by electricians specifi-
cally qualified for such work.
The best results will be obtained if the outdoor
antenna is in sight of the WiMAX base station (cf.
Fig. 1).
If a line of sight is not possible, you can reflect the
radio waves off neighbouring buildings. To do
this, direct the antenna at the building it is to
reflect off and not at the base station (cf. Fig. 2).

The appropriate earthing clamps must be used to create an equipotential bonding
between a cable shield and an equipotential bonding bar that complies with regula-
tions.
Please observe the standard DIN VDE 0855-300 and find out more on the Internet at
http://www.dehn.de/design07_frame/frameset_d_bp.html (German)
Or
http://www.dehn-usa.com/dehn-Application-Guides-pubcid1.html (English)
Antenna cable and antenna connection:
It must be possible to connect the outdoor antenna to the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX by
means of an antenna cable.
Please note that the antenna connection must be protected from the impact of rain and
other weather effects.
Use cable clamps to attach the cable to the mast. Please note that the cable must be
long enough to turn the antenna at a later stage.
Antenna alignment:
When aligning the antenna, we recommend asking a second person to run the Basic
Setup Wizard on the PC and to check the reception quality on the screen; see Chapter
"Basic Setup Wizard" on page 26.
After installation:
Tighten all screw connections to the torques listed in the installation instructions.
Secure the antenna cable with cable clamps and cable ties. The cable must be protected
from exposure to pressure and tension.
i
Aligning the antenna using acoustic signals
If neither you nor the assistant are able to check the signal strength on
screen while the antenna is being aligned, you can monitor it via a radio
system. To do this you will need, for example, two cordless phones,
mobile phones or radio devices:
ìActivate Tone on on the configuration PC.
ìEstablish an internal connection between the two handsets and
switch on the loudspeaker on both devices.
ìLeave one handset next to the configuration PC and carry the other
with you (belt clip).
You will now be informed of the signal strength by means of beeps. The
closer together the sequence of beeps, the better the connection quality.

Gigaset SE681 WiMAX
What is WiMAX?
WiMAX stands for "Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access", a modern wire-
less network technology that enables fast Internet connection even in remote areas.
With WiMAX technology you are no longer dependent on a DSL infrastructure in your
home or place of work. Instead, you connect your PC or network wirelessly to radio
stations operated in your region by your provider. As a result, WiMAX gives you fast,
economical broadband Internet access, even in places that are not connected to the DSL
cable network.
The WiMAX standard IEEE 802.16 generally defines WiMAX technology. Your Gigaset
SE681 WiMAX already meets the latest IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard, a mobile WiMAX
standard that offers many extra possibilities.
