Introduction

About this Device

With the purchase of Gigaset 1054, you have selected a cordless system which combines the advantages of “unrestricted freedom of telephoning” with the convenience of a first rate tele- communications system.

This device is equipped with modern digital technology based on the latest European standards for cordless telephones (DECT and GAP). The DECT technology offers, among other things, a high level of security against unauthorized eavesdropping within the radio cell as well as good digital voice quality. In addition, it enables the simple expansion of the Gigaset 1054 basic config- uration -- for example one base station, two mobile units -- to a telephone system which can be used to place external and internal calls. Mobile units of the Gigaset 1000 series and upward can be operated on Gigaset 1054.

Gigaset 1054 can be used for both private and professional purposes, for example in office build- ings and small companies. In addition to the usual telephone functions, it offers, among other things:

●Direct dial to the mobile units or auxiliary devices

●2 simultaneous external calls

●Operation of 8 mobile units and 2 non-cordless auxiliary devices on one base station

●No-charge internal calls among 6 mobile units

●Simultaneous use of a maximum of 6 cordless devices

●Coding of transmissions between mobile unit and base station

●Operation of a mobile unit on up to 4 base stations, thus expanding the radio range within which you can place and receive calls.
