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.

Disposal

Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the local waste dis posal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your local authority or the dealer you purchased the product from. All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from general household waste using the sites designated by local authorities. If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is subject to European Directive 2002/96/EC. The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondition for the re-use and recy cling of used electrical and electronic equipment. For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact your local authority, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased the product from.

Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock (¢ p. 1) is activated! Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

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

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

AL180.

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 icon

½). Press and hold the talk key c to

check that the base station can be reached. You will hear the ringing tone if the base sta tion can be reached.
