Safety precautions
Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the tele-
phone.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
station or charging cradle.
$
Fit only the approved rechargeable battery pack! Never use a conventional
(non-rechargeable) battery pack as this could damage your health and cause
injury. Use the battery pack as directed in this user guide (page 23).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charging
cradle is not splashproof (page 22).
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.

Fitting the battery pack
Caution:
Only use the rechargeable Siemens original
battery pack (page 23)! This means that you
should never use a conventional (non-
rechargeable) battery pack, as this may cause
significant damage to health and property. For
example, the outer casing of the battery pack
could be destroyed or the battery pack could
explode. The phone could also malfunction or
be damaged as a result of using batteries that
are not of the recommended type.
Attaching the belt clip
There are notches for attaching the belt
clip on the side of the handset at the same
height as the display.
¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the
handset so that the protrusions on the
belt clip engage with the notches.

First Steps
Registering the handset
Initial charging and discharging of the
battery pack
A Gigaset SL55 handset can be registered
on up to four base stations.
If the handset is activated, the flashing
battery icon e in the top right of the dis-
play indicates that the battery pack is
being charged.
You must initiate handset registration on
the handset and on the base.
After it has registered, the handset returns
to idle status. The internal number of the
handset appears in the display, e.g. INT 1.
If it does not, repeat the procedure.
During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the bat-
tery pack (page 1). The correct charge sta-
tus can only be displayed if the battery
pack is first fully charged and discharged.
On the base station
¤ To do this, leave the handset in the
charging cradle continuously for ten
hours. Your handset need not be

computer can then communicate with
your handset via a program (free down-

saver from your computer to the handset.

You can see in the display whether upper
case, lower case or digits is selected.
During the transfer of data between hand-
set and PC, you will see Data Transfer on the
display. During this time, it is not possible

digits take first priority. If only the first

incorporated into the sort order instead of
the surname.

end of the directory.

from "123" to "abc" and from "abc" to
"Abc".
