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.
Use only the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢page 49) as this could oth-
erwise 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.
If you use a medical device (e.g. a pacemaker), please contact the device manufac-
turer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to
external sources of high-frequency energy. Please refer to the “Appendix” chapter
for the specifications of this Gigaset product.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when handsfree
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 charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base
and charging cradle are not splashproof (¢page 49).
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, as they could
interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
uNot all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to trans-
mit emergency calls.

Gigaset C610H – more than just a telephone

Version 4, 16.09.2005
Gigaset C610H – more than just a telephone
Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very sim-
ple to use.
Your telephone can do a whole lot more:
uStore anniversaries such as birthdays in your phone and it will remind you of
them in advance.
uAssign important people to one of six VIP groups so you can identify important
calls from the ringtone and the colour of the assigned VIP group.
uTo only accept calls when you can see the number, you can set your handset to
only ring when the phone number is transmitted.
uYou can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone
(quick dial). The number is then dialled by simply pressing the key.
uSet the display to large print to increase readability in particularly important
screens (e.g., the directory and lists).
uSet the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only the most
important functions (standard mode) or all functions are displayed (expert
mode •). Menu options that are only available in expert mode are marked
with the •icon.
uGigaset Green Home — be environmentally aware when using your phone. For
more information, see www.gigaset.com/service.

Have fun using your new phone!

Setting up the charging cradle
The charging cradle is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C
to +45°C.
¤Set up the charging cradle on a flat, non-slip surface or mount it on the wall
(¢page 51).
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the
multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the
occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
uProtect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
Connecting the charging cradle
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside build-
ings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (¢page 36) is activated.
¤Plug the power adapter into the plug
socket 2.
¤Connect the flat plug from the power
adapter 1.
To disconnect the plug from the charging cradle, press

ies, as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For exam-
ple, the outer casing of the batteries could be damaged or the batteries could
explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using
batteries that are not of the recommended type.
