ECO DECT

During a call, the transmission power is automatically adjusted to the distance between handset and base station, the smaller the distance, the lower the transmission power (radiation). In idle status the transmission power of the handset is switched off. Only the base station ensures contact with the handset using low radio signals.

Your phone offers you the opportunity to further reduce the transmission power:

1) Reducing transmission power (eco mode)

If the setting Max. Range is switched to off (menu tree during a call is reduced up to 80% at half range.

Setting up the base station and charging cradle (if included)

The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C.

¤ Set up the base station at a central location on a flat, non-slip surface in your house or apartment. You can also

mount the base station and charging cradle on the wall.

Please note

Pay attention to the range of the base station. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings.

The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of different varnishes and

lishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.

po Care: W

ipe down the base station, the charging cradle and the handset with a damp cloth (no solvents) or an antistatic

cloth. Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.

Please note:

◆ Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical devices.

◆ Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

Connecting the base station

¤ First connect the mains adapter 1. ¤ Then connect the telephone jack 2 and insert the

cables into the cable ducts.

Please note:

◆ The mains adapter must always be connected, as the

◆ Only use the mains adapter and phone cord supplied.

Pin connections on telephone cables can vary.

◆ The answering machine (A475A only) is ready for use
