1. Safety precautions

Scroll to top

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.

Comprehensive user guides for all telephones and telephone systems as well as for accessories can be found online at our wiki: wiki.gigasetpro.com. We thereby help to save paper while providing fast access to the complete up-to-date documentation at any time

The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In case of a power failure it is also notpossible to make emergency calls.

Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is activated

Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see list of permitted batteries →  www.gigaset.com/service). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced. 

The handset must not be operated if the battery cover is open.

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

The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such as bathrooms or shower rooms. 

Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible

Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could inter-fere with other wireless services.

Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause injury to hands and face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.

Keep small cells and batteries, which can be swallowed, out of the reach of children.
Swallowing a battery can lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of swallowing.
In the case of a swallowed cell or battery, seek medical care immediately.

Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery. If you use a medical device (e.g. a pace-maker), please contact the device manufacturer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high frequency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Technical data").

Scroll to top


The Gigaset N870 SPK PRO (Site Planning Kit) helps you to plan and install your DECT multi-cell system. It contains one measuring base station, two measuring handsets and further helpful accessories for exact determination of the DECT environmental conditions for the planned network, and is delivered in a case. NEW PICTURE NEEDED

You can use the measuring devices in the case to determine the DECT wireless coverage at your location, establish how many base stations are required and their optimum location and find sources of interferences in the wireless network.


Info

Detailed information on planning a multicell system and performing measurements to find the optimum positions for the base stations can be found in the Gigaset N870 IP PRO Site Planning and Measurement Guide.

Stand

To obtain an exact measurement, we recommend that you mount the measuring base station and battery carrier securely on a stand. The base carrier is fitted with a thread connection for this purpose. This enables you to simulate the installation of a base station at every possible height and check the layout and range of the network.

The stand should have a screw thread and be extendable to a height of 2.50 to 3.00 m.

Please note that the measuring devices run on batteries that must be charged before you start taking measurements. Bear this in mind when planning your time.

The Power-bank needs to be charged via the 30 W USB-C charger (fasted charging) or via the USB-A charger (Slower charging), the charging time is approximately ... hours.

You need two batteries for each measuring handset. These can be charged in the chargers and in standard charging devices. The charging time in the charger is approx. 5 hours.


Info

Only use rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH, i.e., never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries, otherwise serious health risks and personal injury cannot be ruled out. For example, the outer casing of the batteries could be damaged or the batteries could explode. The device could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of the recommended type.

Charge the Power-bank

  • Plug the USB-C adapter into a mains socket
  • Connect the USB-C cable to the USB-C adapter
  • Insert USB-C end of charging cable into the USB-C port of the power-bank
  • When all 4 LED power level indicators become solid the power-bank is fully charged


Mounting the base station and the power-bank

  • Mount the DECT base on a stand
  • Mount the Power-bank on the stand
  • Connect the Power cable to power the base station
    You can use the short cable if the power bank is mounted close the the DECT base or the long (3m) cable if needed.
  • You can power the base station for up to 20 hours continuously if the power-bank if fully charged. 

Alternative power supply

The measuring base station is supplied with power via the power-bank.

Alternatively, you can also use one of the following power supplies:

Info

The battery may heat up during charging. This is not dangerous.
After a time, the charge capacity of the battery will decrease for technical reasons.
Switch the handset off if you are not using it for a couple of days.
If you are not using the handset for a couple of weeks, switch it off and remove the batteries.

Connecting a headset to the handset

To assess the quality of the sound transmitted from the measuring station, you can connect headsets to the measuring handsets.

The connection for one of the headsets delivered is on the left side of the measuring handset.

This also means that your hands are free to enter the locations determined in the plan and you can read the display during the measurement phase.

The headset volume corresponds to the setting for the receiver volume.
