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 bottom of the
base station.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢page 60); other
batteries pose significant health risks and could result in personal injury.
Do not charge the handset in 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 (such as a doctor's office).
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
damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower areas. The base
station and charging cradle are not splashproof (¢page 60).
Do not use your phone in environments that pose an 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 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.

Gigaset SL780/SL785 – more than just a telephone
Gigaset SL785 / EN-US / A31008-M2009-XXXX-1-XX / starting.fm / 09.01.2009
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Gigaset SL780/SL785 – 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 unique, provid-
ing you with first-class voice quality in handsfree mode, while the various ports
(Bluetooth, USB) offer you high flexibility.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad, and clearly laid out menu are very
simple to use.
It can do a whole lot more:
uYou can use Bluetooth™ for wireless communication with other devices
(e.g., headsets) that also use this technology.
uSynchronize your address books on your telephone, mobile phone, and PC
with BluetoothTM or using the USB port and Gigaset QuickSync software.
uYou can save appointments and anniversaries in your phone, and it will
remind you of them in advance.
uYou can designate important people as VIPs so you can identify important
calls from the ringer.
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. VIP calls will still be
connected.
uYou can program the keys of your phone with important numbers or fre-
quently used functions. The number is then dialed or the function started
by simply pressing a key.
uGigaset Green Home – Be environmentally aware when using your phone.

Installing the base station and charging cradle
The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry
rooms within a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤Install the base station on a level, nonslip surface in a central location in
your house or apartment, or mount the base station on the wall ¢page 73.
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, because
of the multitude of varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, marks
on surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to heat sources, direct sunlight, or other elec-
trical devices.
uProtect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids, and vapors.
Please note
Keep in mind the range of the base station. It is up to 985 feet (300 m) in
unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 165 feet (50 m) inside buildings.
The range is reduced when Eco mode (¢page 42) is activated.

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.
