Safety precautions

Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully
before use. Explain their contents and the potential haz
ards associated with using the telephone to your chil­dren.

Only use the mains unit supplied.

Fit only the recommended, rechargeable
batteries (¢ p. 11), i.e. never use a conven-
tional (non-rechargeable) battery or other bat­tery types as this could result in significant
health risks and personal injury.

The operation of medical appliances may be
affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
in

your particular environment, e.g. doctor's

surgery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear

when it is ringing. Otherwise you risk serious
and permanent damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant hum­ming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the phone in a bathroom or
shower room. The handset and base station
are

not splashproof.

Do not use your phone in environments with a
potential explosion hazard, e.g. paint shops.

If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make
sure you also give them the user guide.

Please remove faulty base stations from use or
have them repaired by our service, as they could
interfere with other wireless services.

Care

Wipe the base station, charging cradle and handset

-

with a damp cloth (do not use solvent) or an anti
static cloth.
Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset has come into contact with liquid:

◆ Switch off the handset and remove the bat-

tery pack immediately.

◆ Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.

◆ Pat all parts dry, then place the handset with

the battery compartment open and the keypad
facing down in a dry, warm place for at least

72

hours (not in a microwave, oven etc.).

◆ Do not switch on the handset again until it is

completely dry.

When it has fully dried out, you will normally be
able to use it again.

ECO DECT

You are helping to protect the environment with
your Gigaset

Reduced energy consumption

Your telephone has an energy-saving adapter
plug and uses less energy.

Reduced transmission power

The transmission power of your telephone is
reduced automatically:
The handset's transmission power is reduced

-

depending on the distance to the base station.
The transmission power on the base station is
reduced to virtually zero when only one handset
is registered and the handset is in the base sta
tion.
You can reduce the transmission power of the
handset and base station even more by using
Eco Mode/Eco Mode+ (see Menu tree

¢ p. 14):

◆ Eco Mode: 80% transmission power reduc-

-

tion in standby mode and during a call (the
range of the base station is reduced).

◆ Eco Mode+: 100% transmission power deac-

tivation in standby mode (top left display

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 range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (

The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multi­tude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of
marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
You can also mount the base station and charging cradle on the wall.

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.
