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 2000C headset,
see page 46.
Notes on battery use
lOnly use approved nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCad batteries), see
page 13.
lNever use other batteries or normal (non-rechargeable) batteries.These
batteries can cause short-circuit and may be subject to damage
(dangerous). Read the labels in the mobile unit and charging shell
battery compartments.
Meaning of symbols:
lWarning! Please read safety note
in the instructions.
lUse rechargeable batteries only
and observe polarity.
lAvoid contact with water and fire.
lDo not use non-Siemens charging devices. This could damage the
batteries.
lSuitable add-on charging shells are available from Siemens.

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
.or the end call 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).

Lending/disposing
lIf you lend your mobile unit to someone else, please make sure you
include the operating instructions with it.
lPlease dispose of defective batteries, mobile units and charging shells
in accordance with legal requirements.
User guidance, selecting functions
