Approval and conformity

Your Siemens Gigaset M101 Data has been certified by the Ger- man Federal Office of Telecommunication Approval (BZT). This equipment has been approved in accordance with the EU direc- tive 91/263/EC Telecommunication Terminals.

This data terminal complies with the requirements of the EU di- rectives:

89/336/EC

EMC Directive

72/23/EC

Low Voltage Directive

and thus carries the CE mark.

Notes on PC and modem operation

When using a modem, software malfunctions in the PC (e.g. an operating system crash or program errors in the application software) can prevent the cleardown of a modem connection from a telephone line. You incur connection costs for trunk lines that you seize! Since your Gigaset M101 Data only replaces a serial ca- ble, malfunctions of this kind can also occur here. If such a problem occurs, check the status of your modem and, if applicable, reset it.

In the case of one-sided interruption of the mains supply or complete interruption of your Gigaset M101 Data’s hop, the interface’s status lines are reset to the initial status in the partner station within 2 minutes (a modem then clears down the connection).

Whenever possible, operate the station registered as user at your PC (lokale Station), since any malfunctions on the user side can be displayed, for technical reasons, more quickly than at the base, see "LEDs and buttons" on page 19.

Should the graphic or sound card be affected by interfer- ence from Gigaset M101 Data, rotate Gigaset M101 Data until the interference is removed.

Notes on Gigaset Repeater

The Gigaset Repeater cannot be used to extend the radio range.

The repeater was designed for use behind Gigaset 2000 base stations.
