Safety notes
Notes on mobile unit use
lDo not use mobile units in damp environments (bathroom/shower). The
units are not splash proof.
lDo not use the mobile unit in environments where there is danger of
explosion.
lMake sure that the telephone is at least one meter away from any
medical equipment.
lThe mobile unit is not suitable for people with hearing aids since the
radio signals interfere with hearing aids, producing a very unpleasant
humming sound if the volume is turned up high enough.
Recommendation: Gigaset 1000H headset,
see page 53.
Notes on battery use
lOnly use approved nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCad batteries), see
page 15.

General
Environmental conditions
lPlease read the safety notes on page 6.
lMake sure that the mobile unit is at least one meter away from medical
equipment, fire alarm equipment and other radio equipment (e.g. radio
telephones or radio pagers), otherwise its performance may be im-
paired, e.g. by interference.
lThe mobile unit and charging shell should not be placed near other
electronic devices, such as Hi-fi, office or microwave devices, as this
may adversely affect operation of your telephone and/or the electronic
equipment.
lDo not expose the mobile unit or charging shell to direct sunlight or
other sources of heat.
lUse the mobile unit at temperatures between 0°C and +45°C.
lDo not expose the mobile unit to damp environments.
lAvoid using the mobile unit and charging shell in rooms where there is
a lot of dust.
General notes on operation
lWhen operating the mobile unit a basic distinction is made between
– telephone/switching functions, e.g. when a call is in progress
and
– local functions, display when mobile unit is on.
lAn incoming call cancels the local functions.
lLocal functions can be cancelled before saving with the function key
ßor the line key.
lLocal functions can also be performed in the charging shell.
lDisplay texts from the system are shown without muted vowels and
special characters.
lThe display of call charges at the mobile unit depends on the Hicom
setting.
lYour telephone book entries, all settings and your PIN are not lost,
even if you remove the batteries.
lThe mobile unit can be used as a second executive telephone with
limited functions.

11
General
lThe device offers a high level of privacy. No protection can be guaran-
teed against illegal bugging using other radio receivers.
Radio range
lDepending on the environment, the range in the open is up to 300 m.
lIn buildings the range extends to up to 50 m (depending on the room
and building layout and construction).
lIf you leave the system’s base station radio range during a call, you will
hear the range tone. The quality of the voice connection drops, espe-
cially if you move. For a better voice connection, move back into the
base station range.
lThe radio connection is lost if you exceed the range. This is identified
by the display Search station .
lPlease consult your system administrator in the case of on-going range
problems.
Leaving the radio network
lIntegrated power saving function: if you leave the base station radio
range when the mobile unit is switched on, the interval between
synchronisation attempts gradually increases – this increases the
battery life in stand-by mode.
lTo ensure that the mobile unit can be used as soon as you return to the
radio network, you should immediately log it on again:
lPress the On/Off key until the display is blank, press the On/Off key
again when the mobile unit is on.
lIf you intend to leave the radio network and take your mobile unit with
you, we recommend that you turn the mobile unit off in order to save
the batteries.
Fitting the attachment clip
An attachment clip is supplied with your mobile unit to facilitate portability.
To use this clip, simply attach it to the rear of the mobile unit.
Slot the protrusions on the attachment clip into the holes on the sides of the
mobile unit (at display level).

Putting into service
Logging mobile units onto a telephone system
Before you can telephone with the mobile unit, you must first open a "logon
window" at Hicom 300 and log on the mobile unit. This is only necessary the
first time the unit is put into service!
lAsk your Hicom 300 system administrator for the following information:
– code no. (PIN E1) of the Hicom 300 system,
e.g. "∗∗
∗∗
∗82", and check if code no. applies network-wide
– code no. (PIN E1) of the mobile unit (e.g. 6-digit)
– mobile unit call number
– system code of the mobile unit (8-digit)
lOpen the Hicom 300 logon window – at a mobile unit that is already
logged on or at a Hicom telephone with display (at the same network
node):
Code no. Enter the code no. (PIN E1) at Hicom telephone, e.g.
"∗∗
∗∗
∗82".
e.g. ∗∗
∗∗
∗82 Enter the number of the Hicom telephone also if the
code no. applies network-wide.
Enter code no.
e.g. 123 Enter the code no. (PIN E1) of the mobile unit, e.g.
"123456" – "*" are displayed instead of digits.
e.g.
Id 34567
e.g. 345... Enter the mobile unit call number displayed for
confirmation purposes, e.g. "34567" – the ring tone is
briefly audible. When the ring tone ceases, the Hicom
logon window is "open" for 10 minutes.
Note:
The logon window is automatically closed if the mobile unit logon procedure
is not performed within 10 minutes as described below. If this happens you
must repeat the operation.
