Safety precautions

Use only the power unit supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base station. Insert only approved rechargeable batteries of the same type (page 19)! Never use ordinary (non-rechargeable) batteries as they may pose a health hazard or cause injury.
Make sure you insert rechargeable batteries the right way round and use the battery type specified in this operating manual (as indicated in the handset battery compartment). The phone may affect medical equipment. Always observe the technical restrictions in your environment (e.g. hospitals or doctors' practices). The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids. Do not hold the handset against your ear while it is ringing (incoming call). Do not install the phone in a bathroom or shower. The handset and base are not watertight. Do not operate the phone in places where there is a risk of explosion (such as paint workshops).
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the operating manual.
Dispose of batteries and phone carefully.

Stepwise startup 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 startup.

Notes on operation

Installing the base station
Installation site/installation area
A 220/230V 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 HiFi, 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 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: 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.

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
