Gigaset S790/S795 – more than just a telephone
Gigaset S790/S795 / USA-CAN EN / A31008-M2121-R301-1-3S19 / introduction.fm / 28.07.2009

Gigaset S790/S795 – more than just a telephone
Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home. The
configuration and user interface of the cordless phone are excellent, providing
you with first-class voice quality in speaker mode, while the USB port offers you
enormous flexibility.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very
simple to use.
Your phone can do a whole lot more:
uYou can synchronise the directories on your telephone, mobile phone and
PC via the USB port using the Gigaset QuickSync software (¢page 64).
uYou can save appointments (¢page 43) and anniversaries, e.g., birthdays
(¢page 33), in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.
uYou can designate important people as VIPs to identify important calls from
the ringtone (¢page 31).
uYou can assign a picture to entries in the directory – in the future the picture
will appear every time you receive a call from this number (¢page 31).
uIf you do not want to take calls where the caller has withheld their number,
just set your handset to only ring if Calling Line Identification (CID) has not
been blocked (¢page 54).
uIf you do not wish to be disturbed, you can simply set up a time control so
that your phone will only ring when it is convenient (¢page 53). VIP calls
are still connected during this time.
uYou can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone. The
number is then dialed by simply pressing a key (¢page 51).
uYou can set the display to large font to increase readability in particularly
important situations (e.g. the directory and lists) (¢page 52).
uYou can adapt the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that
only the most important functions (standard mode) or all functions (expert
mode) display (¢page 26).
uGigaset Green Home — Be environmentally aware when using your phone.

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 pro-
vided on page 63, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and
personal injury. Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base while the
headset is connected.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. 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 Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the mar-
ket. 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 charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and
charger are not splashproof (¢page 62).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g., paint shops).
If you give your phone 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 department,
as they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

or mount the base (Gigaset S790 only) or charger on the wall (¢page 60).
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 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:
uThe power adapter must always be connected, as the phone will not oper-
ate without.
uUse only the power adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on
telephone cables can vary (¢page 63).
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 43) is
activated.

The REN is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to a telephone
line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to
an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the
sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total
RENs, contact the local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the
REN for this product is part of the product iden-
tifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
The digits represented by ## are the REN with-
out a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
For earlier products, the REN is separately
shown on the label.
A copy of the supplier's Declaration of Conform-
ity (SDoC) is available at this Internet address:

The telephone company may make changes in
its facilities, equipment, operations or proce-
dures that could affect the operation of the
equipment. If this happens the telephone com-
pany will provide advance notice in order for
you to make necessary modifications to main-
tain uninterrupted service. If you experience
trouble with this telephone system, disconnect
it from the network until the problem has been
corrected or until you are sure that the equip-
ment is not malfunctioning.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment,
for repair or warranty information, please con-
tact Support at 1-866-247-8758. If the equip-
ment is causing harm to the telephone net-
work, the telephone company may request that
you disconnect the equipment until the prob-
lem is resolved. This equipment is of a type that
is not intended to be repaired by the Customer
(user).
This telephone system may not be used on coin
service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party line service is subject to
state tariffs. Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or cor-
poration commission for information. Privacy
of communications may not be ensured when
using this phone.
If your home has specially wired alarm equip-
ment connected to the telephone line, ensure
the installation of this equipment does not dis-
able your alarm equipment. If you have ques-
tions about what will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone company or a qualified
installer.
This telephone system equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
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
interference that may cause undesired opera-
tion. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. Some cordless
telephones operate at frequencies that may
cause interference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s;
to minimize or prevent such interference, the
system base should not be placed near or on
top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is expe-
rienced, moving the base farther away from
the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate
the interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation.
If this telephone 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 interference by one or more of the
following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the base
station and receiver.
3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio
TV technician for help.
