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 enor-
mous flexibility.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very sim-
ple 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 63).
uYou can save appointments (¢page 44) and anniversaries, e.g., birthdays
(¢page 34), 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 32).
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 32).
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 55).
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 55). 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 52).
uAdapt your Gigaset to suit your handsfree requirements (¢page 54).
uView your personal pictures as a screensaver slide show (¢page 53).
uYou can set the display to large font to increase readability in particularly impor-
tant situations (e.g. the directory and lists) (¢page 53).
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). Menu options that are only available in
expert mode are marked with the • icon.
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 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 tech-
nical 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).
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.

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).
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 operate without.
uUse only the power adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on tele-
phone cables can vary (¢page 62).
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.

Remove the protective films!
Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Warning
Use only rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) UL-approved AAA batteries.
Never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries, as this could result in sig-
nificant health risks and personal injury. For example, the outer casing of the
batteries could be damaged or the batteries could explode. The phone could
also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of the
recommended type.

the polarity in the cor-
rect direction.
The polarity is indicated
in/on the battery com-
partment.
¤First insert the battery
cover at the top a.

Industry Canada Certification
Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certi-
fied equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications
network, protective, operational and safety
requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Ter-
minal Equipment Technical Requirements docu-
ment(s). The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should
ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications
company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with
the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordi-
nated by a representative designated by the sup-
plier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,
may give the telecommunications company cause
to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that
the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together.
This precaution may be particularly important in
rural areas
NOTE: Users should not attempt to make such
connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority,
or electrician, as appropriate.
This product meets the applicable Industry
Canada technical specifications.
The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of
the maximum number of devices allowed to be

tion of an interface may consist of any combina-
tion of devices subject only to the requirement
that the sum of the RENs of all devices does not
exceed five.

dian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est con-
forme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
FCC / ACTA Information
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit
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
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
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.
A copy of the supplier's Declaration of Conformity
(SDoC) is available at this Internet address:

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company will notify you
in
advance, that temporary discontinuance of serv-
ice may be required. But if advance notice isn’t
practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations or procedures
that could affect the operation of the equipment.
If this happens the telephone company will pro-
vide advance notice in order for you to make nec-
essary modifications to maintain uninterrupted
service. If you experience trouble with this tele-
phone system, disconnect it from the network

until the problem has been corrected or until you
are sure that the equipment is not malfunction-
ing.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for
repair or warranty information, please contact
Support at 1-866 247-8758. If the equipment is
causing harm to the telephone network, the tele-
phone company may request that you disconnect
the equipment until the problem 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. Con-
nection to party line service is subject to state tar-
iffs. Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission or corporation com-
mission for information. Privacy of communica-
tions may not be ensured when using this phone.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, ensure the

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 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.
