SOS mode
Your Gigaset E365 is equipped with a special SOS function or SOS procedure. Use this SOS
function to request assistance in case of emergency. You can store up to four SOS num-
bers.
SOS numbers can be stored in SOS/Direct Dialing key I. In the event of an emergency, you
only have to press Direct Dialing key I. The SOS procedure is initiated when you press this
key.
The SOS procedure automatically dials the first SOS number you entered. If this number is
busy or if the person called is not at home, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next
SOS number.
To use the SOS procedure, you have to first program SOS/Direct Dialing key I and activate
SOS mode (page 22).
iWhen SOS mode is activated, the SOS LED lights up permanently on the SOS keys
of the handset and base station.

Version 4, 16.09.2005
SOS procedure
The SOS procedure operates as described below.
Recipients of the emergency call must have their telephones set to tone dialing, otherwise
confirmation of the SOS call with key 5 will not be recognized.
Press the SOS/Direct Dialing key é of the base station and the device immediately
dials.
You must press and hold the SOS/Direct Dialing key é of the handset to immediately
launch the function.
If you press the key briefly and do not hold it down, you must confirm with §Yes§ to prevent
an emergency call from being initiated inadvertently.
Å
The first SOS number is dialed as soon as you press the SOS Direct Dialing key. At the same
time, the message "Emergency call being sent" is played back over the loudspeaker.
Å
If the SOS call is answered, the called party automatically hears the message "This is an
emergency call." Your name is then announced after this message. You must have pro-
grammed the SOS key accordingly for your name to be announced (see page 22). This is
followed by the message "To answer the emergency call, please press key 5." If the called
party now presses key 5, you can converse with one another.
Å
If the called party does not answer the call, for example, the called party is not at home
or his or her answering machine is on, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next SOS
number. In the following cases, the SOS procedure automatically calls the next SOS
number after 60 seconds:
uThe call is not answered
uThe answering machine for the selected SOS number is on
uThe SOS number is busy
Å
The procedure is repeated up to four times. If none of the calls are answered, the SOS pro-
cedure is ended with an error tone.
i
– During the entire procedure, all SOS keys flash on all registered handsets and on
the base station. The message "Emergency call being sent" is displayed on the
handset that initiated the emergency call.
– If an internal call is also programmed, the SOS call can also be answered by an
internal user. The text "Emergency call" is displayed on all registered handsets and
the base station.
– You should perform a test run of the SOS procedure to ensure that SOS mode is
programmed correctly. The police, emergency services, or fire department must
not be used for a test run.
– Please note that the standby time of the handset will be reduced when SOS mode
is activated.
– The SOS LED lights up permanently when SOS mode is activated.

to keep your hands free when making a
call.

First steps
Package contents
The product includes one Gigaset E365
base station, one handset, one power
adapter, one telephone cable, two batter-
ies, one battery cover, one belt clip and a
user guide.
Installing the base station
The base station is designed for use in dry
rooms in a temperature range of +41°F to
+113°F.
Set up or wall mount the base station at a
central location in your home.
Please refer to the end of the user guide
for information on wall mounting the base
station.
Please remember:
uNever expose the telephone to heat
sources, direct sunlight, other electrical
appliances.
uProtect your telephone from moisture,
dust, corrosive liquids, and fumes.
ECO DECT – What does it mean?
ECO DECT reduces power consumption
by using a power supply with low power
consumption and also reduces the trans-
mission power of the base station when
the handset is docked and only one hand-
set is registered on the base station.
Also, your handset automatically reduces
transmitting power depending on its dis-
tance to the base station (close-up
range).

Caution:
Use only rechargeable nickel-metal hydride
(NiMH) UL-approved AAA batteries. Never use
conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries or
other battery types as this may cause signifi-
cant damage to health and property. For
example, the outer casing of the batteries
could be destroyed 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.

Version 4, 16.09.2005
Attaching the belt clip
There are notches for attaching the belt
clip on the side of the handset at the same
height as the direct dialing keys.
¤Press the belt clip onto the back of the
handset so that the protrusions on the
belt clip engage the notches.
You can also attach a cord for carrying the
handset in your hand or wearing it around
your neck.
Opening the battery cover
¤Remove the belt clip, if necessary.
¤Reach into the housing cavity and pull
the battery cover upwards.
Placing the handset into the base
station and registering
¤To start the automatic registration of
your handset, please place the handset
in the base with the display facing
outwards.
¤The handset registers automatically.
Please do NOT remove your handset
from the base station during the regis-
tration procedure.
The registration can take up to 5 minutes.
While registration is in progress the screen
displays Registering . The handset will be
assigned the lowest unassigned internal
number (1–4). If several handsets are reg-
istered to the base, the internal number is
shown on the screen after registration (for
example, 2). This means that the handset
has been assigned the internal number 2.

Version 4, 16.09.2005
Initial charging of batteries
¤To charge the batteries, leave the hand-
set in the base station or charging cra-
dle continuously for ten hours. Your
handset need not be switched on for it
to charge.
Battery charging is indicated in the upper
right corner of the display by a flashing
battery icon e, V, or U. During
handset operation, the battery icon indi-
cates the charge status of the batteries
(page 1).
Please remember:
uThe batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
uFor technical reasons, the charge
capacity of the batteries will decrease
after a certain period of time.
Headset socket
Which headsets are compatible?
The following headsets have been tested
with the Gigaset E365:
uPlantronics MX200
uPlantronics MX250
uTop-Nice EP-21-RS (C39453-Z5-C361)
For questions and troubleshooting, see
page 35.
Now please continue directly with the
storage of the local area code (see the
Chapter "Area codes" on page 14). This
step is not essential.
However, if you skip the step, the com-
plete functions of the local area codes will
not be available.
Notes:
– Automatic registration is only possible
when the base station you want to register
the handset to is not being used to make a
call.
– Pressing a key cancels automatic registra-
tion.
– If four handsets are already registered to
the base station, there are two options:
– The handset with the internal number 4
is put on idle status: the handset you
want to register is assigned the number
4. The handset that was previously
number 4 is de-registered.
– The handset with internal number 4 is in
use: the handset you want to register
cannot be registered.
– If automatic registration does not work, the
handset must be registered manually
(page 29).
Notes:
– The handset must only be placed in the
base/charging cradle provided for it.
– If the handset switches off because its bat-
teries are empty, it will automatically
switch on again when it is placed into the
base station.
Caution:
Do not charge the handset in charging unit or
base station while the headset is connected.
Note:
The appendix contains explanations of the
symbols and typographical conventions used
in this user guide (see page 7).
