Directory for up to 250 entries

Save phone numbers and names to the directory (¢page 31). You can designate important

entries as VIPs (Very Important Persons). VIP calls are then recognised by their ringer and their

colour in the directory (¢page 32).

If you don't (always) want it to ring

Use time control for calls (¢page 52) or ensure that all calls from a withheld number are not

signalled (¢page 53).

Other practical information

Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢page 32), use the shortcut func-

tion (¢page 32) and adjust the colour and contrast of the display to your requirements

(¢page 51).

Following 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 66, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Do not charge the handset in the charger or base while the headset is connected.

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 interference in analogue hearing aids. If you require assist-

ance, 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 66).

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 these 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.

Setting up the base and charging cradle (if included)

The base and charging cradle are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature

range of +5°C to +45°C.

¤Set up the base at a central point in the building on a level, non-slip surface or

mount the base or charger on the wall (¢page 72).

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 base

¤First, connect the power adapter 1.

¤Then connect the telephone jack 2

and insert the cables into the cable

ducts.

Please note:

uThe power adapter must always be

connected, as the phone will not

operate without a mains connection.

uUse only the power adapter and

phone cord supplied. Pin connec-

tions on telephone cables can vary

(pin connections, ¢page 67).

uThe answering machine is ready for

use approx. 15 seconds after the

base has been connected or reset.

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 is activated (¢page 47).

GmbH (¢page 66), as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and

personal injury. 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.

the polarity in the cor-

rect direction.

The polarity is indicated

in the battery compart-

ment.

¤First insert the battery

cover at the top a.

Initial charging and discharging of the batteries

The correct charge status can only be displayed if the battery is first fully charged

and discharged.

¤Charge the handset in the base for 8.5 hours.

¤After charging, remove the handset from the base and only replace it when the

batteries are fully discharged.

Please note

The handset must only be placed in the designated Gigaset C300/C300A base

or charging cradle.

8.5 hrs

Please note

uThe handset is pre-registered with the base. If you have purchased a model

with multiple handsets, all handsets will already be registered with the

base. You do not need to register the handset again.

uAfter the first battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in

the charger after every call.

uAlways repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the

batteries from the handset and reinsert them.

uThe batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.

uAfter a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical

reasons.

Notes on calling line display

(CLIP)

By default, the number of the caller is shown

in the display of your Gigaset telephone. You

do not have to make any other settings on

your Gigaset telephone.

However, if the caller's number is not

displayed, this can be due to the

following:

uYou have not ordered CLIP from your net-

work provider or

uYour telephone is connected via a PABX

or a router with an integrated PABX (gate-

way) that does not transmit all informa-

tion.

Is your telephone connected via a

PABX/gateway?

You can establish this by checking for an

additional device connected between your

telephone and house connection, e.g., a

PABX, gateway etc. In most cases, simply

resetting this device will remedy the situa-

tion:

¤Briefly disconnect the mains plug of your

PABX. Re-insert the plug and wait for the

device to restart.

If the caller number is still not

displayed:

¤Check the CLIP settings of your PABX and

activate this function if necessary. In the

user guide for the device, search for the

term "CLIP" (or an alternative term such

as "calling line identification", "phone

number transmission", "caller ID", ...).

If necessary, contact the device manufac-

turer.

If this does not resolve the problem, it is pos-

sible that your network provider does not

the CLIP service for this number.

Please note

The ringtone can be switched off for

unknown calls (calls with Calling Line

Identification restricted) (¢page 53).

Reducing energy consumption

Your telephone has a power-saving adapter

plug and uses less power.

Reducing radiation

The radiation from your telephone is

reduced automatically:

uHandset: The closer the handset is to the

base, the lower the radiation.

uBase: The radiation is reduced to virtually

zero when only one handset is registered

and the handset is placed in the base.

You can further reduce the radiation from

the handset and base by using Eco Mode:

Eco Mode

Reduces radiation from the base and hand-

set by 80% – whether you are making a call

or not. Eco Mode reduces the range of the

base by approx. 50%. Using Eco Mode

always makes sense when a reduced range is

sufficient.

Switching off radiation

FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions: (1) This device may not cause

harmful interference, and (2) This device must

accept any interference received, including inter-

ference that may cause undesired operation.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a resi-

dential installation. Some cordless telephones

operate at frequencies that may cause interfer-

ence to nearby TV’s and VCR’s; to minimize or pre-

vent such interference, the system base should

not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if

interference is experienced, moving the base far-

ther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or

eliminate the interference.

However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this tel-

ephone system does cause harmful interference

to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the system off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-

ence by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the base sta-

tion and receiver.

3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a cir-

cuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV

technician for help.

Caring for your telephone

Wipe the unit with a damp cloth or an anti-

static cloth. Do not use solvents or microfi-

liquid:

1. Switch the handset off and remove the

batteries immediately.

2. Allow the liquid to drain from the hand-

set.

3. Pat all parts dry, then place the handset

with the battery compartment open and

the keypad facing down in a dry, warm

place for at least 72 hours (not in a mi-
