Stepwise start-up Step 4: Inserting the batteries into the handset
The handset is powered by two batteries.
Batt. compartment cover Batt. comp. and batteries
Hold the handset with the keypad side facing down. Slot the batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the +/ battery poles are aligned correctly. The +/ marks on the plate must be aligned with the +/ marks on the batteries. The handset will not work if the batteries are incorrectly inserted and it may be damaged. Slide the cover of the battery compartment from above into the grooves in the handset and close the compartment.

Step 5: Charging the batteries
To charge the batteries, place the handset in the handset rest on the base station. The charging contacts on the bottom of the handset must come into contact with the bottom of the base station and its charging contacts. It does not matter whether the keypad is facing up or down. If you have correctly inserted the mobile unit for charging, the LED under the battery symbol on the base station will light up. You must charge the batteries before you can make any calls or settings. We recommend that the batteries be charged for 16 hours without interruption, e.g. overnight, for the initial start-up. For more information on the use of the batteries ( page 6).
Stepwise start-up Step 6: Check signalling method
Telephone lines can use the following signalling methods:
dial pulsing (DP) dual-tone multifrequency signalling (DTMF)
The factory default for your Gigaset 2010 Tango is DTMF. Checking your own telephones signalling method c
Press the off-hook key (corresponds to picking up the handset on an ordinary phone). You will hear the dial tone. Press any digit, e.g. 2. If you can still hear the dial tone you will have to set the signalling method to dial pulsing (DP).
Setting the phone to dial pulsing (DP) B#1
Start the setting procedure. Enter the four-digit base code (factory default:0000) ( page 19). Set dial pulsing (DP). The other signalling method settings are intended for the operation of the Gigaset 2010 Tango in telephone systems ( page 16 ). You can now make external calls with your Gigaset 2010 Tango.

Notes on operation
Installing the base station
Installation site/installation area
A 220/230V (AC adapter C39280-Z4-C59) or 110/120V (AC adapter C39280-Z4-C69) power socket must be located at the installation site. In order to avoid interference, the base station should not be in the direct vicinity of other electronic equipment such as Hi-fi, office or microwave equipment. Place the base station on a level, non-slip surface. The device feet do not normally leave any unsightly marks. However, due to the variety of varnishes and polish used on furniture, the possibility of marks cannot be entirely ruled out. Radio transmission between the base station and handsets complies with the DECT standard. Gigaset 2010 Tango thus observes all relevant regulations. However, if there is interference to the picture or sound of your satellite equipment, consult your specialist satellite dealer. Depending on ambient conditions, the maximum radio range between the base station and the handset is approx. 300 m outdoors, and approx. 50 m indoors. If the range warning is activated for the handset ( page 36), a signal will sound when you move outside the radio range.
Temperature/ambient conditions
The base station is designed for operation in protected areas with a temperature range from +5 C to +45 C. The base station should not be installed in damp areas (such as bathrooms or laundry rooms), or close to heat sources, or in direct sunlight.

Notes on operation Notes on operating the handset
For users who wear hearing aids If you wear a hearing aid, please note that radio signals can interfere with hearing aids, and if sufficiently loud, can cause a very unpleasant humming sound. Using rechargeable batteries The following should be noted when using rechargeable batteries:
Only use the rechargeable battery types supplied (AA nickel-cadmium batteries). When replacing rechargeable batteries, the following can be used: Saft RC6, Panasonic P-60 AA/1P Philips R6 NC-P , , UCAR RC6, Eveready XC6, DAIMON ACCU 1000, Sanyo N-3U, Varta Rechargeable Accu Plus Ni-Cd 1.2V, No. 5006.
Nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries can significantly increase the time for which Gigaset 2000S Tango can be used. The following products are authorized: Sanyo HR-3U (1300 mAh), GP GP120 AAHC, Emmerich CE R 6, Energizer EMH-1100AAC, Varta VH1101AA, Once the NiMH rechargeable batteries have been inserted, the following should be observed to ensure maximum lasting power from your batteries: Once the batteries have been fully charged for the first time, the handset prematurely indicates that the batteries are running low ( i ). In order to deep discharge the batteries, continue to use the handset until the battery symbol j appears and the batt. low beep sounds (caution: max. operating time remaining is 10 minutes). In this way the handset recognizes the extended capacity of the rechargeable batteries and will in future display the correct battery charging status. Opening the battery compartment resets the display to the capacity of the batteries delivered with the telephone.
Using other battery types or non-rechargeable batteries may cause malfunctions or even damage the equipment. The manufacturer shall assume no liability in this case. Never use ordinary batteries.
When installing and using the rechargeable batteries, please follow the rules below:
Initially charge the batteries thoroughly. We recommend charging the batteries for approximately 16 hours without interruption (overnight for example). During the first week of operation, continually replace the handsets in the charging unit for recharging. New batteries do not usually reach their full capacity (i.e. maximum time when the telephone is in use and stand-by time) until they have been in normal use for several days. Although the battery LED indicates that the rechargeable batteries of a handset have been charged (LED off), you must assume during this initial phase that the capacity may not reach that of maximum time when the telephone is in use, or that of stand-by time. Stand-by time Up to 70 hours (NiCd, 650 mAh) Up to 110 hours (NiMH, 1100 mAh) Up to 130 hours (NiMH, 1300 mAh) Up to 7 hours (NiCd, 650 mAh) Up to 11 hours (NiMH, 1100 mAh) Up to 13 hours (NiMH, 1300 mAh)

When the telephone is in use
After they have initially been thoroughly charged, the rechargeable batteries are fully operative. For normal operation, we recommend that the handsets are not placed in the charging unit each time a call is completed. The rechargeable batteries should be discharged from time to time. Caution: partially discharged batteries only offer limited operating time. Make sure that the contacts do not touch metal or oily objects. Battery charging times Charging time in the handset NiCd approx. 45 hours NiMH 1100 mAh approx. 89 hours Charging time in the charging unit backup battery compartment NiCd approx. 24 hours NiMH 1100 mAh approx. 40 hours
The LED display lights up occasionally to indicate that float charging is taking place.
Mounting the carrying clip onto the handset If required, you can mount the carrying clip supplied with the handset, e.g. if you wish to carry the handset in your pocket. Hold the handset with the keypad facing the palm of your hand. You will see two small holes on the sides, level with the display. Place the clip in one hole and then insert it into the opposite hole until it clicks into place.

Maintenance notes

Simply wipe the handset and base station with a damp cloth or an antistatic wipe. Never use a dry cloth as this causes static discharge.
Connecting the telephone socket
Only use a Siemens telephone connecting cable. Cables by other manufacturers may have a different pin assignment. The telephone cable socket is connected on the underside of the base station as follows: Free Free a b Free Free

Operation at more than one base station
You can register and operate your handset at up to 4 Gigaset Tango base stations. A Gigaset Tango handset can only be registered at Gigaset Tango base stations. This offers the following advantages:
You can operate the same handset at base stations in different geographical locations (e.g. in the office and at home). You can extend the range or the area in which you can call with the same handset in large areas by placing the base stations in suitable locations. Please note the following when operating at more than one base station:
Ongoing calls are interrupted or cleared down when you move from one base station radio range to another. Internal calls can only be made within the radio range of a base station, i.e. not to handsets that are in another base station radio range. If you are out of range of a base station for several minutes, and your handset is switched on, then when you re-enter the range it may take up to 20 minutes to "find" the base station again. In such cases, switch the mobile unit off for a brief time and then on again ( page 14). The handset and base station will "find" each other within a few seconds.
Procedure for operating at more than one base station
We recommend following the procedure below: 1. Register your handset at the required base stations ( page 48) and assign the required base station numbers (1 to 4).
2. Register your handset at all base stations with the same internal call number, provided this is not yet assigned.
Operation at more than one base station Activating/deactivating base station number display on handset
You can program your handset to display the base station with which the unit has radio contact. B3
Start the setting procedure. The current setting is displayed: = activated, = deactivated. Activate the base station number display. Deactivate the base station number display (factory setting). When the display is activated, the number of the base station is displayed continuously:
(Example: handset is linked to base station number 1)
Selecting the best station
Normally, radio contact is automatically re-established if you move your handset from one base station radio area to another. If problems occur, you can select the best station. This is the station to which your handset can set up the best radio connection. B 0 Start the setting procedure. The numbers of the base stations at which the handset is registered are displayed. 2 Pf N B (Example: base stations 1 and2 are displayed)

station

Select best base station. The best base station is displayed. - 2 Pf N (Example: base stations with no. 2 are selected)
Operation at more than one base station Setting the preferred station
We recommend that you define a preferred base station if the handset is located in an overlap area between two or more base station radio areas. This means you no longer need to change stations frequently. There are two ways of setting the preferred station:
you can specify a base station at which the handset should operate permanently ("fixed"). This prevents automatic change to other base stations, you specify a station at which the handset should "pre ferably" operate. In this case, the handset searches for the preferred station. A connection is only set up to another station (the best station) if the preferred station is not found (within 30 s).
Selecting the fixed station B Start the setting procedure. The numbers of the base stations at which the handset is registered are displayed.

Operating modes

ON/OFF/PROTECTED modes

You can switch your handset to
protected mode, off, and on (again).
When the handset is in protected mode, it is protected against unintended use. The handset switches on automatically to receive incoming calls. If you want to make an outgoing call, you will have to switch the handset on first. When the handset is switched off, incoming calls are not signaled. You have to switch on the handset before making a call. PROTECTED mode is useful, for example, if you carry your telephone in a bag. To preserve the batteries, we recommend that you switch off the handset if you move outside the base station radio range. If the handset has been switched on and outside the radio range for a longer period of time, you can speed up the process of finding the base station again by switching the handset off for a moment and switching it on again.

Registering/de-registering more than one handsets at the base station
You can operate up to six handsets from the Gigaset 2000 family at a Gigaset 2010 base station. You can only register handsets from the Gigaset family. It is not possible to register other Gigaset handsets. The handset supplied with your telephone is already registered at the base station with the internal call number 1 and base number 1. Each additional handset that you purchase must be registered at the base station. We recommend that when you are registering other handsets at the base station, to keep the base number 1 for this base station.
Registering a Gigaset 2000S handset at a base station
If you want to operate your handset at more than one base station (up to six) ( page 51), you must repeat the following procedure at each base station. The handset must be turned off ( page 15) Prepare the base station ? Press the base station paging key until you hear the logon tone (after approximately ten seconds).

Operating more than one handset
Ring priority for incoming calls
It is possible to set how incoming calls should be signaled when operating several handsets. A distinction is made between:
Collective call (factory default) incoming calls are signaled to all registered handsets. You can exclude individual handsets from the collective call and reintegrate previously excluded handsets. Ring priority an incoming external call is first signaled to a prioritized handset. If this party does not accept the call, the system automatically switches to collective call after an adjustable number of rings.

Procedure for operating at more than one base station
We recommend following the procedure below: 1. Register your handset at the required base stations ( page 49) and assign the required base station numbers (1 to 6).
2. Register your handset at all base stations with the same internal call number, provided this is not yet assigned.
Operation at more than one base station Activating/deactivating base station number display on handset
You can program your handset to display the base station with which the unit has radio contact. B3
Start the setting procedure. The current setting is displayed: = activated, = deactivated. Activate the base station number display. Deactivate the base station number display (factory setting). When the display is activated, the number of the base station is displayed continuously:
(Example: handset is linked to base station number 1)
Selecting the best station
Normally, radio contact is automatically reestablished if you move your handset from one base station radio area to another. If problems occur, you can select the best station. This is the station to which your handset can set up the best radio connection. Setting the preferred station We recommend that you define a preferred base station if the handset is located in an overlap area between two or more base station radio areas. This means you no longer need to change stations frequently. There are two ways of setting the preferred station:
you can specify a base station at which the handset should operate permanently ("fixed"). This prevents automatic change to other base stations,
or you specify a station at which the handset should "preferably" operate. In this case, the handset searches for the preferred station. A connection is only set up to another station (the best station) if the preferred station is not found (within 30 s).
With Gigaset 2000S handset B Start the setting procedure. The numbers of the base stations at which the handset is registered are displayed.

2 P fN

(Example: base station 1 and2 are displayed)
Enter the number of the preferred base station and confirm with B.
Automatic search for a base station if the preferred base station cannot be reached
After selecting a preferred base station, a combined search for base stations can be conducted as follows: for 30 seconds, the mobile unit searches for the set base station if this base station cannot be found, the mobile unit then searches for the base station with the best radio reception conditions after switching on again or when out of range, the mobile unit again begins to search for the set base station. With Gigaset 2000S handset B Start the setting procedure. The numbers of the base stations at which the handset is registered are displayed. 2 Pf N
