Configuring info services/activating idle display
You can configure your registered Gigaset A58H handsets to display custom-
ized text information (e.g. weather reports, RSS feeds) in the idle display. To do
this you must set the
Info Services screensaver on the handset (
£
Page 78). The
same applies to a registered Gigaset C38H handset.
Configuring info services
¤ Open the following Web page:
Settings ¢ Services.
¤ Click the link in the
Info Services Configuration area.
www.gigaset.net/myaccount
or enter the URL into the address field of a different browser window.
The Web page for Gigaset.net info services is opened. You are now regis-
tered with your Gigaset.net user ID. Your Gigaset.net user ID and password
are displayed in the
Info Services Configuration area of the Web configurator
Services page.
This will open a website where you can compile your info service.
¤ Define which information should be sent regularly to your handset.
Activating the display of info services for Gigaset S67H, S68H, SL37H and C47H
handsets
You can also display the selected text information on a Gigaset S67H, S68H,
SL37H or C47H handset that is registered to your base station.
If one of these handsets is registered to your base station the
Activate Info Serv-
ices area in which you can activate the display for these handsets is displayed
on the
Services Web page.
¤ Open the following Web page:
Settings ¢ Services.
¤ In the
Activate Info Services area, activate Yes / No to activate or deactivate the
display of text information.
¤ Select the
Set button to save the settings in your phone.
If text information is available it is displayed (in idle display) on all registered
Gigaset S67H, S68H, SL37H or C47H handsets for which the digital clock is set
as the screensaver.
The text information overwrites the digital clock.
Changing internal handset numbers and names
Each handset is automatically assigned an internal number (1 to 6) and an
internal name ("
INT 1", "INT 2", etc.) when it registers with the base station
(
£
Page 71).
The internal numbers and names of all registered handsets can be changed.
Please note
The weather report is preset. It is shown in the handset's idle display as soon as you set
the
Info Services as the screensaver.
