First steps

Gigaset C590/C595 / USA-CAN engl / A31008-M2101-R301-1-3S19 / starting.fm / 28.07.2009

Version 4, 16.09.2005

Setting up the base and charging cradle (if included)

The base and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with

a temperature range of +41°F to +113°F.

¤ Install the base on a level, non-slip surface in a central location in your house

or flat or mount the base or charging cradle on the wall (¢ page 65).

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:

u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight

or other electrical devices.

u Protect your telephone from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.

Connecting the base

¤ First connect the

power adapter

¤ Then connect the

telephone jack

and insert the

cables into the

cable ducts.

Please note:

u The power adapter must always be connected, as the phone will not oper-

ate without electrical power.

u Only use the power adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on

telephone cables can vary (¢ page 55).

Please note

Pay attention to the range of the base.

This is up to 984 feet in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 165 feet

inside buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (

¢ page 41)

is activated.
