Safety precautions
Warning:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
station or charging cradle.
Fit only the approved rechargeable battery pack (page 57)! That means never
use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack, as this could result in sig-
nificant health risks and personal injury.
Battery packs should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe
the local waste disposal regulations, which you can find out about by contacting
your local authority or the dealer you purchased the product from.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
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 the
handsfree function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent dam-
age to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
The base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 54).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard,
e.g. paint shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the
user guide.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by Siemens
Service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

Safety precautions
Gigaset SL370 / IM-Nord English / A31008-M1903-R201-2-SM19 / security.fm / 9.7.07
Version 4, 16.09.2005
All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from gen-
eral household waste using the sites designated by local authorities.
If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is sub-
ject to European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to
prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondi-
tion for the re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact
your local authority, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased
the product from.
Please note:
Not all of the functions described in this manual are available in all countries.

Gigaset SL370 – More than just a telephone
Gigaset SL370 / IM-Nord English / A31008-M1903-R201-2-SM19 / starting.fm / 9.7.07
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Gigaset SL370 –
More than just a telephone
Your phone, which has a clearly laid out
colour display (65K colours) doesn't just
offer you the option of sending and receiv-
ing SMS messages via the fixed network
and of saving up to 250 phone numbers
and e-mail addresses (page 20) – it can do
much more than that:
uYou can reduce the transmission power
by activating the eco mode (page 12).
uYou can programme the keys of your
phone with important numbers or fre-
quently used functions. The number is
then dialled or the function started by
simply pressing a key (page 41).
uYou can easily make calls using network
services (page 18).
uYou can designate important people as
VIPs so you can tell important calls from
the ringer tone (page 21).
uYou can assign pictures to your con-
tacts. You can then tell who is calling
you from the picture on your handset's
display.
Precondition: Calling Line Identification
(CLIP, page 16).
uYou can store appointments (page 47)
and anniversaries (page 23) in your
phone and it will remind you of them in
advance.
uYou can use Bluetooth™ for wireless
communication with other devices
(e.g. headsets) that also use this tech-
nology (see page 48).
Enjoy using your new telephone!

charging procedure if you remove the
battery pack from the handset and
insert it again.

charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a time the charge capacity of the
battery pack will decrease for technical
reasons.

displayed at the top of the screen.
Please note:
– Activating eco mode reduces the range of
the base station.
– Eco mode and any repeater support (see
page 51) cancel each other out, i.e. both
functions cannot be used at the same time.
– If external handsets (GAP) and handsets
from earlier Gigaset versions are used, your
handset will not automatically reduce the
transmission power to the base station.

Calling Line Identification
When you receive a call, the caller's
number is displayed on the screen if the
following conditions are met:

CLI.
– CLI (Calling Line Identification): the
caller's number is transmitted.
– CLIP (Calling Line Identification Pres-
entation): the caller's number is dis-
played.

work provider.

(page 1, page 20) or the calls and last number
redial list (page 24/page 23) saves you from
having to re-enter numbers and network pro-
vider prefixes ("call-by-call numbers").
