Safety precautions
Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully before use. Explain their contents
and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
$
Only use the mains unit supplied.
Fit only the recommended, rechargeable batteries ( ¢ page 18), i.e. never
use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this
could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. 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. 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 phone in a bathroom or shower room. The handset is not
splashproof.
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, e.g.
paint shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user
ƒ guide.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by our serv-
ice, as they could interfere with other wireless services.
Disposal
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the
municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the
government or the local authorities.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent poten-
tial negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for
reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment. For more detailed infor-
mation about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your local council refuse centre
or the original supplier of the product.
Version 130.06.2009

Care
Wipe down the base station and handset with a damp cloth (no solvents) or an antistatic
cloth. Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Contact with liquid !

If the handset should come into contact with liquid:
◆ Switch the handset off and remove the batteries immediately.
◆ Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
◆ Pat all parts dry, then with the battery compartment open and the keypad facing down
place the handset in a dry, warm place for at least 72 hours (not in a microwave, oven
etc.).
◆ Do not switch on the handset again until it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able to use it again.
First steps
Seting up the charging cradle
The charging cradle is designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature range of
+5 °C to +45 °C.
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:
◆ Never expose the telephone to heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical appli-
ances.
◆ Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
Connecting the charging cradle

¤ Plug the mains adapter into the plug socket.
Version 130.06.2009

Setting up the handset for use
The display is protected by a plastic film.
¤ Remove the protective film!

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Warning
¢
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH
( page 18). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery
types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, 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.
Inserting the batteries

¤ Insert the batteries the right way round.
The polarity is indicated in/on the battery
compartment.
Closing the battery cover

¤ Slide the battery cover from bottom up
onto the casing until it clicks into place.
Opening the battery cover

If you need to open the battery cover, for
instance to replace the batteries:
¤ Press the ribbing at the top of the battery
cover and slide it downward.
Placing the handset in the charging cradle and charging the batteries
Version 130.06.2009
Before you can use the handset, you must first charge the batteries.
¤ Place the handset with the display facing up in the charging cradle.
Ò = set number are shown. The handset is already registered to the base.

Gigaset 1 If you want to register further handsets, you have to register each
individual handset manually ( ¢
page 14).
Handsets are assigned the lowest available internal number (1-4). If
four handsets are registered you will have to deregister one handset
before you can register another.
Initial charging and discharging of the batteries
If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon in the top right of the display indicates
that the batteries are being charged. During handset operation, the battery icon indicates
the charge status of the batteries.
U Steady: Full, more than1 hour talking time

Flashing: Charging
= Steady: Less than 1 hour talking time

Flashing: Almost flat. Put the handset into the
charging cradle to recharge.
The correct charging level can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully charged and
discharged.
¤ Place the handset in the charging cradle for at least twenty hours.
¤ Then remove the handset from the charging cradle and do not replace it until the bat-
teries are completely discharged.
Version 130.06.2009
Please note
◆ After the first battery charge and discharge cycle you may replace your handset in
the charging cradle after every call.
◆ Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you have removed the bat-
teries from the handset and re-insert them.
◆ The batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.
◆ In a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.
Warning
Please ensure that the handset is in the charging cradle if you are absent for a long time
(e.g. during holidays) or remove the batteries from the handset. Else the batteries could
be damaged.
Activating/deactivating the handset

¤ Press and hold the a key to activate or deactivate the handset.
If you place a deactivated handset in the base station or charging cradle, it will automati-
cally activate.
Handset out of range
If the handset is out of range of the base station the antenna icon Ò will flash on the dis-
play. If the signal becomes poor during a call the earpiece will briefly intermit voice trans-
mission by emitting an out of range warning tone. In this case you should reduce the dis-
tance to the base station. If the signal becomes too low the line is disconnected.
Setting the date and time
Set the date and time on the base station so that the correct date and time can be assigned
to incoming calls and the alarm can be used. The date and time is synchronised with all reg-
istered handsets.
Your phone is now ready for use
