Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to
your children.
Only use the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢ page 54) as this
could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Do not charge the handset in the charging unit or base station while the headset
is connected.
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
speaker mode is activated. You risk serious and permanent damage to your
hearing.
Your phone 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. For 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 54).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g. paint shops).
ƒ
If you give your phone to someone else, make sure you also give them the
user guide.
Please remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service
department, as they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note

Gigaset C590/C595 – more than just a telephone
Gigaset C590/C595 – 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
simple to use.
It can do a whole lot more:
u Store anniversaries such as birthdays in your phone and it will remind you
of them in advance.
u Allocate important people to one of six VIP groups so you can identify important calls from the ringtone and the color of the allocated VIP group.
u If you only want to accept calls when you can see the number, you can set
your phone to only ring when the phone number is transferred.
u You can assign important numbers to the number keys on your handset.
The number is then dialed by simply pressing the key.
u Set the display to show in large print to increase readability during certain
important situations (e.g. in the directory and in lists).
u Set the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only the
most important functions (standard mode) or all functions are displayed
(expert mode).
u Gigaset Green Home – be environmentally aware when using your phone.

First steps
Setting up the base and charging cradle (if included)
The base and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with
a temperature range of +41°F to +113°F.
¤ Install the base on a level, non-slip surface in a central location in your house
or flat or mount the base or charging cradle on the wall (¢ page 65).
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base.
This is up to 984 feet in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 165 feet
inside buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (¢ page 41)
is activated.
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:
u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight
or other electrical devices.
u Protect your telephone 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:
u The power adapter must always be connected, as the phone will not oper-
ate without electrical power.
u Only use the power adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on
Version 4, 16.09.2005
