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 the cables supplied for fax, fixed line, ISDN, LAN and receiver connection and connect these to the intended port only. 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 install the phone in a bathroom or shower room. The phone is not splashproof. 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 telephones from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as they could interfere with other wireless services.
u Please note that only terminals that are operated in-house (inside buildings) may be con-
nected to the analogue TAE/ISDN connections.
u Not all functions described in this user guide are available in all countries and with all pro-

viders.

Firmware updates

This user guide describes the functions of your base from firmware version 56.00. Whenever there are new or improved functions for your Gigaset, firmware updates are made available for you to download to your base. If this results in operational changes when using your base, a new version of this user guide or the necessary amendments will be published on the Internet at www.gigaset.com. Select the product to open the relevant product page for your base, where you will find a link to the user guide.

Setting up the base

The base is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5C to +45C. Set up the base at a central point in the building.
If you wish to operate handsets from the base, consider the range of the base. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode 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.

not work without a mains connection.
u Use only the power and telephone cables supplied.
Gigaset DX800A all in one, DL500A: The pin connections of telephone cables for the analogue fixed line can vary. The correct pin connections can be found in the long user guide on the enclosed CD. The software of the base is loaded. After a short time, the idle display is displayed on the base; it is in idle mode. Now you can make calls with your base via the fixed line or ISDN, and can be reached via your fixed line number or the main number of your ISDN connection! The answering machine on the base is set with a pre-recorded announcement in answer and record mode ( page 42). 13
4. Connecting the base with a router (Internet) or PC
For the Gigaset DX800A all in one, the connection to a router is mainly needed for the Internet telephony VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). You can set up and configure up to six accounts (VoIP phone numbers) from one or several VoIP provider(s) on the base. All variants of the base require a connection to a router for the following features of the phone: u You wish to be notified as soon as new software is available for your base on the Internet and load this onto your base. u The date and time on your base should be updated by a time server on the Internet. u You wish to go online with your base, i.e., use the Info Centre, display info services or search for phone numbers in an online directory. The base will have to be connected to a PC (via a router or directly) if you wish to use the following features of your base: u You wish to set up the base using its Web configurator. u You wish to use the additional PC software, "Gigaset QuickSync over Ethernet" to dial numbers via the PC (e.g., numbers from a PC directory) or to load images or melodies from the PC to your base. For Internet access you need a router connected to the Internet via a modem (this may be integrated in the router).
u For telephony via the Internet, you need a broadband Internet connection
