Gigaset S790/S795 – more than just a telephone

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:
u You can synchronise the directories on your telephone, mobile phone and PC via
the USB port using the Gigaset QuickSync software (¢ page 63).
u You can save appointments (¢ page 44) and anniversaries, e.g., birthdays
(¢ page 34), in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.
u You can designate important people as VIPs to identify important calls from the
ringtone (¢ page 32).
u You 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 32).
u If 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 55).
u If 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 55). VIP calls are still
connected during this time.
u You can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone. The
number is then dialed by simply pressing a key (¢ page 52).
u Adapt your Gigaset to suit your handsfree requirements (¢ page 54).
u View your personal pictures as a screensaver slide show (¢ page 53).
u You can set the display to large font to increase readability in particularly important situations (e.g. the directory and lists) (¢ page 53).
u You 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). Menu options that are only available in
expert mode are marked with the • icon.
u Gigaset Green Home — Be environmentally aware when using your phone.

Safety precautions

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 62, 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 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 charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and
charger are not splashproof (¢ page 61).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g., paint shops).

ƒ

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

First steps

Setting up the base and charger (if included)
The base and charger are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of
+41°F to +113°F.
¤ Set up the base at a central point in the building on a level, non-slip surface or
mount the base (Gigaset S790 only) or charger on the wall (¢ page 72).

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 44) 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.

Making calls

Using Caller ID

Display with CID

Caller ID (CID) and Caller Name ID (CNID) are
optional subscription services provided by
your telephone service provider. These features supply incoming caller identification
information that displays on your handset.

If you have CID, then the name that is registered with your network provider for the
caller's number will also be displayed. If the
number of the caller is stored in your directory, the CID display is replaced by the corresponding directory entry.

Call display with Caller ID/ Name
If the number of the caller is saved in your
directory, you will see their name, and if you
have assigned a caller picture (CID picture)
to that caller, this will also be displayed.
