Safety precautions

Warning

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.

Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.

Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base station.

Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries ( page 76) as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. 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 the speaker function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the base or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and charging cradle are not splashproof ( page 76).

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint shops).

If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user guide.

Please remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

Please note

Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

Warning

This equipment will be rendered inoperable when main power fails.

Gigaset SL780/SL785 – more than just a telephone

Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home.

The configuration and user interface of the cordless phone are unique, providing you with first-class voice quality in speaker mode, while the various ports (Bluetooth, USB) offer you high flexibility.

The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very simple to use.

It can do a whole lot more:

◆You can use Bluetooth™ for wireless communication with other devices (e.g. headsets) that also use this technology.
◆Synchronise your address books on your telephone, mobile phone and PC with Bluetooth™ or via the USB port using the Gigaset QuickSync software.
◆You can save appointments and anniversaries in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.
◆You can designate important people as VIPs so you can identify important calls from the ring tone.
If 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. VIP calls will still be connected.
◆You can programme the keys of your phone with important numbers or frequently used functions. The number is then dialled or the function started by simply pressing a key.
◆Gigaset Green Home – Be environmentally aware when using your phone. For more information, see www.gigaset.com/service.

You can find additional information on your telephone at www.gigaset.com/gigasetsl78h.

Have fun using your new phone!

Please note:

◆ The mains adapter must always be connected, as the phone will not operate without mains connection.
Only use the mains adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on telephone cables can vary (pin connections → page 77).

Installing the base and charging cradle

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

▶ Install the base on a level, non-slip surface in a central location in your house or flat or mount the base on the wall → page 82.

Please note

Pay attention to 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 ( page 53) 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.

Please note:

◆Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical devices.
◆Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

Setting up the handset for use

The display and keypad are protected by a plastic film. Please remove the protective film!

SMS on a PABX

◆You can only receive an SMS when the Calling Line Identification is forwarded to the extension of the PABX (CLIP). The CLIP evaluation of the phone number for the SMS centre takes place in your Gigaset.
◆Depending on your PABX, you may have to add the access code (external line prefix) before the number of the SMS centre. If in doubt, test your PABX, e.g. by sending an SMS to your own number: once with and once without the access code.
◆When you send SMS messages, your sender number may be sent without your extension number. In this case the recipient cannot reply to you directly.

Sending and receiving SMS messages on ISDN PABXs is only possible via the MSN number assigned to your base.

Using a handset as a room monitor

If the room monitor is activated, a previously saved destination number is called as soon as a set noise level is reached. You can save an internal or external number in your handset as the destination number. All of the handset keys are deactivated, with the exception of the display keys.

The room monitor call to an external number stops after around 90 seconds. The room monitor call to an internal number (handset) stops after approx. 3 minutes (depending on the base). When the room monitor is activated, all keys are locked except the end call key. The handset's speaker is muted.

When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indicated without a ring tone and are only shown on the screen. The display and keypad are not illuminated and advisory tones are also turned off.

If you accept an incoming call, the room monitor is suspended for the duration of the call, but the function remains activated.

If you deactivate then reactivate the handset, the room monitor remains activated.

Warning!

◆You should always check the operation of the room monitor before use. For example, test its sensitivity. Check the connection if you are diverting the room monitor to an outside number.
When the function is switched on, the handset's operating time is considerably reduced. If necessary, place the handset in the charging cradle. This ensures that the battery does not run down.
Ideally the handset should be positioned 1 to 2 metres away from the baby. The microphone must be directed towards the baby.
◆The connection to which the room monitor is diverted must not be blocked by an activated answering machine.

Using Bluetooth devices

Your Gigaset SL78H handset can communicate wirelessly via Bluetooth™ with other devices using this technology.

Before you can use your Bluetooth devices, you must first activate Bluetooth and then register the devices to the handset.

You can register 1 Bluetooth headset to the handset. You can also register up to 5 data devices (PC, PDA) to send and receive directory entries as vCards or exchange data with the computer (→ page 78).

To use the phone numbers, dialling codes (country and area code) must be stored in the directory ( page 68).

You will find a description of how to operate your Bluetooth devices in the user guides for these devices.

Please note

You can operate headsets on your handset that have the headset or speaker profile. If both profiles are available, the speaker profile will be used to communicate.

Additional functions via the PC interface

To enable your handset to communicate with the PC the "Gigaset QuickSync" program must be installed on your PC (free to download at www.gigaset.com/gigasetsl780).

Transferring data

After installing "Gigaset QuickSync", connect the handset to your computer using Bluetooth (→ page 61) or a USB data cable (→ page 16). If you want to use the Bluetooth connection, your computer must be equipped with a suitable dongle.

Please note

◆If a USB data cable is plugged in during an existing Bluetooth connection, the Bluetooth connection is cancelled.

You can

◆synchronise your handset directory with Outlook,
◆download CLIP pictures (.bmp) from the computer to the handset,
◆download pictures (.bmp) as a screen-saver from the computer to the handset
◆download sounds (ring tones) from the computer to the handset.

The display on your phone is switched off and the message key ☑ and the speaker key ☑ start flashing.

▶ Close the "Gigaset QuickSync" program on the PC.
▶ Remove the USB data cable from the telephone.
