Starting a firmware update

If necessary, you can load updates of the base station firmware onto your phone.
The server on which Gigaset Communications makes new firmware versions avail-
able for your base station is set by default. The URL of this Internet server is dis-
played in the Data server field.
You should only change this URL under exceptional circumstances (e.g. if requested
to do so due to a malfunction). This address is also used to load provider informa-
tion from the Internet. You should therefore make a note of the default URL before
you overwrite it. Otherwise, you will only be able to reactivate the default URL by
resetting the base station back to the default settings (
