VoIP – making calls via
the Internet
With VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol),
your calls are not made via a fixed connec-
tion as in the telephone network, but
rather they are transmitted via the Inter-
net in the form of data packets.
You can take advantage of all the benefits
of VoIP with your phone:
u
You can make cost-effective calls at
high voice quality with subscribers on
the Internet, the fixed network or the
mobile phone network.
u
Your VoIP provider will give you per-
sonal numbers, with which you can be
reached from the Internet, the fixed
network and any mobile phone net-
work.
To be able to use VoIP, you need the fol-
lowing:
u
A broadband Internet connection
(e.g. DSL) with flat rate (recom-
mended) or volume-based price
u
Internet access, i.e. you need a router
that will connect your phone to the
Internet. You will find a list of recom-
mended routers on the Gigaset S450 IP
product page at:
u
Access to the services of a VoIP pro-
vider. Open up to six accounts with
different VoIP providers.

Inserting the batteries
Warning:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recom-
mended by Siemens Home and Office
Communication Devices GmbH & Co.KG on
page 99! This means on no account should
you use conventional (non-rechargeable) bat-
teries or other battery types, otherwise serious
damage to health and property cannot be
ruled out, e.g. the outer casing of the batteries
could be destroyed or the batteries could
explode. The phone could also malfunction or
be damaged as a result of using batteries that
are not of the recommended type.
