PC Interface
You can connect the handset to your computer using a data cable (page 28). Your computer can then communicate with your handset via a program (free download at www.siemens.com/ gigasetSL550). You can access your hand- set's directory and download sounds (.mid) and pictures (.bmp) for the screen- saver from your computer to the handset.
During the transfer of data between handset and PC, you will see Data Transfer on the display. During this time, it is not possible to use the keypad and incoming calls will be ignored.
