Setting up the base station and charging cradle

The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature range of 
+5 °C to +45 °C. 

¤

Set up the base station at a central location on a flat, non-slip surface in your house or apartment.

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.

Please note: 

Never expose the telephone to heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical appliances.

Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

Connecting the base station

¤

First

 connect the mains adapter 

1

.

¤

Then

 connect the telephone jack 

2

 and insert the cables into 

the cable ducts.

¤

Then

 plug the handset cable in the handset. Connect the 

handset to the base station 

and insert the cables into the 

cable ducts.

Please note: 

The mains adapter should 

always be connected

, as the 

phone has only basic phone functions without mains connec-
tion.

Only use the mains adapter and phone cord 

supplied

Pin connections on telephone cables can vary. If you buy a 
replacement phone cord, make sure that the phone jack has 
the correct type of wiring.

Please note

Pay attention to the range of the base station.

This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings.
