The configuration and user interface of the cordless phone are excellent, providing you with first-class voice quality in speaker mode, while the USB port offers you enormous flexibility.The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very simple to use.Your phone can do a whole lot more: uYou can synchronise the directories on your telephone, mobile phone and PC via the USB port using the Gigaset QuickSync software (¢page 64).uYou can save appointments (¢page 43) and anniversaries, e.g., birthdays (¢page 33), in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.uYou can designate important people as VIPs to identify important calls from the ringtone (¢page 31). uYou can assign a picture to entries in the directory – in the future the picture will appear every time you receive a call from this number (¢page 31).uIf you do not want to take calls where the caller has withheld their number, just set your handset to only ring if Calling Line Identification (CID) has not been blocked (¢page 54).uIf you do not wish to be disturbed, you can simply set up a time control so that your phone will only ring when it is convenient (¢page 53). VIP calls are still connected during this time.uYou can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone. The number is then dialed by simply pressing a key (¢page 51). uYou can set the display to large font to increase readability in particularly important situations (e.g. the directory and lists) (¢page 52).uYou can adapt the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only the most important functions (standard mode) or all functions (expert mode) display (¢page 26). uGigaset Green Home — Be environmentally aware when using your phone.

Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base while the headset is connected.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 hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is activated. You risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the mar-ket. However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.The handset may cause an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids or cause them to overload. For assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and charger are not splashproof (¢page 62).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 bases from use or have them repaired by our Service department, as they could interfere with other wireless services.Please noteNot all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.$ƒ
