Safety precautions


Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.

The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit emergency calls .

Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is activated!

Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see list of permitted batteries www.gigaset.com/service). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.

Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base station while the headset is connected.

The handset must not be operated if the battery cover is open.

Ensure that the batteries can not be short-circuited by objects in the battery compartment.

Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).

The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such as bathrooms or shower rooms.

Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.

Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible.

Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could interfere with other wireless services. Disconnect the telephone network connector (TNV circuit connector).

Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause injury to hands and face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.

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.

The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.

Keep small cells and batteries, which can be swallowed, out of the reach of children.

Swallowing a battery can lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of swallowing.

In the case of a swallowed cell or battery, seek medical care immediately.

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 manufacturer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high frequency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Technical data").

Alarm

An alarm is shown on the display and indicated by the selected ringtone melody. The alarm sounds for 60 seconds. If no key is pressed, the alarm is repeated after 5 minutes. After the second repetition, the alarm call is deactivated for 24 hours.

During a call, the alarm is only indicated by a short tone.

Deactivate the alarm: Off

Repeat the alarm (snooze mode): Press Snooze or any key . . . the alarm is switched off and repeated after 5 minutes.

Baby monitor

When the baby monitor is switched on, the stored (internal or external) destination number is called as soon as a defined noise level is exceeded in the vicinity of the handset. The alarm to an external number is cancelled after approximately 90 seconds.

You can answer the alarm using the Two Way Talk function. This function is used to switch the loudspeaker of the handset located in the baby's room on or off.

In baby monitor mode, incoming calls are only indicated on the display ( without ringtone ). The display backlight is reduced to 50%. Advisory tones are deactivated. All keys are locked, with the exception of the display keys and the centre of the control key.

If you accept an incoming call, the baby monitor mode is suspended for the duration of the call, but the function remains activated. The baby monitor mode is not deactivated by switching the handset off and on again.

The handset should be positioned 1 to 2 metres away from the baby. The microphone must point towards the baby.

Activating the function reduces the operating time of your handset. For that reason, place the handset in the charging cradle if necessary.

The baby monitor is activated 20 seconds after switching on.

The microphone of the handsfree device is always used, even if a headset is connected.

The answer machine for the destination number must be switched off.

After switching on:

Test sensitivity.

Test the connection, if the alarm is being forwarded to an external number.

ECO DECT

ECO DECT

The device range is set to maximum as default. This guarantees the best connection between the handset and the base station. In idle status, the handset will not function (as it is not transmitting). Only the base station will maintain contact with the handset via a low wireless signal. During a call, the transmission power automatically adapts to the distance between the base station and handset. The smaller the distance to the base, the lower the radiation.

To reduce the radiation further:

Reducing radiation by up to 80%

Settings OK ECO DECT OK Maximum Range

Change ( = deactivated)

The range is also reduced with this setting.

Deactivating radiation in idle status

Settings OK ECO DECT OK No Radiation


To benefit from the advantages of the setting No Radiation , all registered handsets must support this feature.

If the setting No Radiation is activated and a handset is registered to the base that does not support this feature, No Radiation is automatically deactivated. As soon as this handset is de-registered, No Radiation will automatically be re-activated.

The wireless connection will only be established for an incoming or outgoing call and the connection will be delayed by about 2 seconds.

In order that a handset can establish a wireless connection with the base station more quickly for an incoming call, it must "listen" to the base station more often, i.e. scan the environment. This increases power consumption and reduces the standby and talktime of the handset.

When No Radiation is activated, there will be no range display/range alarm on the handset. Contactability can be tested by attempting to establish a connection.

Press and hold the Talk key . . . the dialling tone sounds.

Multiple handsets

Expanding the functionality of the telephone


Up to six handsets can be registered to the base station.

Each registered device is assigned an internal number (1 – 6) and an internal name ( INT 1 –

INT 6 ). The number or name assigned can be changed.

If all internal numbers have already been assigned at the base station: de-register a handset that is no longer needed

Registering the handset

A handset can be registered on up to four base stations.

Registration must be initiated on the base station and on the handset.

Both must be carried out within 60 secs .

On the base station

Press and hold the Registration/Paging key on the base station (approx. 3 secs)

On the handset

Settings OK Registration OK Register Handset OK . . . an available base station is sought Enter system PIN (default setting: 0000 ) OK

If the handset is already registered with four bases, select the base to be replaced by the new base.

Once registration is complete, the handset returns to idle status. The internal number of the handset appears in the display, e. g. INT 1 . If not, repeat the procedure.

Maximum possible number of handsets registered to the base station (all internal numbers assigned): The handset with the highest internal number is replaced by the new one. If this is not possible, because a conversation is being held on this handset, for example, the message No free internal number is given. De-register a handset that is no longer required and repeat the registration procedure

Some Gigaset bases and bases/routers from third party manufacturers might not be fully compatible with the handset and not all functions are displayed correctly. In such cases, use menu entry Basic Registration . This guarantees correct displays on the handset, but can entail restrictions for some functions.
