Services – weather information, horo-
scope etc.). You must have activated the
display of info services via the Web con-
figurator.
The base must be connected to the Inter-
net to display info services.
The type of info service available to your
base is set on the Internet on the
Gigaset.net server. You can change the
settings via your PC web browser
(see user guide for the Web configurator;
Info Services).
If no information is currently available,
the digital time (Digital Clock) is dis-
played instead until information is availa-
ble again.
Together with the information, display
keys that open the Info Centre selection
menu can be shown.
The screensaver replaces the idle status dis-
play. It will conceal the calendar, date, time
and name.
The screensaver is not displayed in certain
situations e.g., during a call and when a sta-
tus message is displayed.
If a screensaver is activated, the Screensaver
menu option is marked with ³.
