Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user manual before use.
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 57, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base station 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.
If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufac-
turer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to
external sources of high frequency energy. Please refer to the "Appendix" chapter for
the specifications of this Gigaset product.
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
hearing.
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 57).
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
manual.
Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service team, 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 63.
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 effects 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 telephone jack 1
and insert the cables into the cable
ducts.
¤Then connect the power adapter 2.
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 58).
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 41).

Notes on phone number
display (Caller ID)
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 Caller ID from your
network provider
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 home connection, e.g., a
PABX, gateway etc. In most cases, simply
resetting this device will remedy the situa-
tion:
¤Briefly disconnect the PABX power plug.
Re-insert the plug and wait for the device
to restart.
If the caller number is still not
displayed:
¤Check the phone number display set-
tings of your PABX and activate this func-
tion if necessary. In the user manual for
the device, search for the term "CID" (or
an alternative term such as "calling line
identification", "phone number transmis-
sion", "caller ID" etc.). If necessary, contact
the device manufacturer.
If this does not resolve the problem, it is pos-
sible that your network provider does not
provide the Caller ID service for this number.
Please note
The ringer can be switched off for
unknown calls (calls with Caller ID with-
held) (¢page 46).

not expressly approved by Gigaset Communica-
tions USA LLC could void the FCC authority to
operate the equipment. This includes the addition
of any external antenna device.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the bottom of the base station is a label that
contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to
the premises wiring and telephone network must

requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided
with this product. It is designed to be connected
to a compatible modular jack that is also compli-
ant. See installation instructions for details.
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 prod-
uct is part of the product identifier that has the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits repre-
sented by ## are the REN without a decimal point
(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the
REN is separately shown on the label.

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 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 phone
Wipe down the base station and handset
with a damp cloth (do not use solvent or a
microfiber cloth) or an antistatic cloth. Never
use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Impairments in high-gloss finishes can be
carefully removed using display polishes for
mobile phones.
Contact with liquid
If the handset comes into contact with liq-
uid:
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 with the battery
compartment open and the keypad fa-
cing down place the handset in a dry,
warm place for at least 72 hours (not in a
microwave, oven, etc.).
4. Do not switch on the handset again un-
til it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally
be able to use it again.
