Gigaset S790/S795 – more than just a telephone
Gigaset S790/S795 – more than just a telephone
Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home.
The configuration and user interface of the cordless phone are excellent,
providing you with first-class voice quality in speaker mode, while the USB port
offers you enormous flexibility.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very sim-
ple to use.
Your phone can do a whole lot more:
uYou can synchronise your directories on your telephone, mobile phone and PC
via the USB port using the Gigaset QuickSync software (¢page 79).
uYou can save appointments (¢page 55) and anniversaries, e.g., birthdays
(¢page 34), in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.
uYou can designate important people as VIPs to identify important calls from the
ringtone (¢page 32).
uYou can assign a picture to entries in the directory – in future the picture will
appear every time you receive a call from this number (¢page 32).
uIf you do not want to take calls where the caller has withheld their number, just
set your handset to only ring if Calling Line Identification has not been withheld
(¢page 66).
uIf you do not wish to be disturbed, you can simply set up a time control so that
your phone will only ring when it is convenient (¢page 66). VIP calls are still
connected.
uYou can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone.
The number is then dialled by simply pressing a key (¢page 62).
uAdapt your Gigaset to suit your handsfree requirements (¢page 65).
uView your personal pictures as a screensaver slide show (¢page 63).
uYou can set the display to large font to increase readability in particularly impor-
tant situations (e.g., the directory and lists) (¢page 64).
uYou can adapt the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only
the most important functions (standard mode) or all functions
(expert mode •) are displayed (¢page 25). Menu options that are only avail-
able in expert mode are marked with the •icon.
uGigaset Green Home – Be environmentally aware when using your phone.
Details about our ECO DECT products can be found at
www.gigaset.com/customercare.
You can find additional information about your phone at

Have fun using your new phone!

Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Warning
Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on
page 77, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the tech-
nical 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 speaker
mode is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hear-
ing.
Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market.
However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids
or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid
supplier.
Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and
charger are not splashproof (¢page 77).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g., paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.
Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service department, as
they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
