Making calls
If the display backlight is deactivated 
, it can be reactivated by 
pressing any key. 
Making an external call
External calls are calls made via the public 
telephone network (fixed line, mobile net-
work) or via the Internet (VoIP).
To make an external call, you need to define 
one of the base connections as a send con-
nection. You have the following options:
u
Assign a connection to the base/handset 
as a send connection permanently 
You can use an "alternative connection" 
via the display key or function key 
u
Select a send connection on the base/
handset each time you make a call.
Permanently assigned send 
connection 
Prerequisite:
A connection (fixed line connection, MSN of 
the ISDN connection, VoIP connection) is 
permanently assigned to the base as a send 
connection 
~ c
Enter the number and pick up 
the receiver. The number is 
dialled.  
Or:
c ~
Pick up the receiver and enter 
the number. The number is 
dialled approximately 
3.5 seconds after the last digit is 
entered. 
Instead of picking up the receiver, you can 
also press the handsfree key 
d or the 
 function key to 
make a call using the handsfree function or 
headset.
In this user guide, each of these variants is 
indicated by "
c Pick up receiver".
The dialled number and the send connec-
tion used are shown in the display (e.g., via 
IP2
). The connection name you have 
assigned is displayed where available. 
Otherwise, the standard name is used.
Please note
You can make up to four external calls at 
the same time via your base.
Please note
u
If a dialling plan has been defined for 
the dialled phone number (see Web 
configurator), then the connection 
specified in the dialling plan will be 
used to establish the connection 
instead of the send connection. If the 
phone number is blocked by a dial-
ling plan, it will not be dialled. Not 
possible
 is displayed. 
u
If you use VoIP to make a call to the 
fixed line, you may also have to dial 
the area code for local calls (depend-
ing on the provider). You can avoid 
having to dial your own area code by 
entering it in the configuration and 
activating the Predial area code for 
local calls via VoIP
 option. 
u
You have activated the Automatic 
Fallback to Fixed Line
 option with 
the Web configurator. If an attempt to 
make a call via a VoIP connection fails, 
the phone automatically attempts to 
establish the connection via the ISDN 
(first MSN) or fixed line. 
u
The base automatically dials 
Gigaset.net numbers ending with the 
suffix #9 via the Gigaset.net connec-
tion. The calls are free of charge
