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

◆ All registered handsets must support this feature.

◆ For quick connection of incoming calls the handset repeatedly switches to reception mode for short periods.

This increases energy consumption and therefore reduces the standby and talk times.

Safety precautions

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.

The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In case of a power failure it is also not possible
to make emergency calls.

Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is activated!

Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see list of permitted batteries

www.gigaset.com/service
as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are notice­ably damaged, must be replaced.

The handset must not be operated if the battery cover is open.

Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint shops).

The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such as bath­rooms or shower rooms.

Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible.

Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could interfere with
other wireless services.

Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause injury to hands
and face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is activated. Other­wise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.

The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause them to over­load. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.

Keep small cells and batteries, which can be swallowed, out of the reach of children.
Swallowing a battery can lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue and death. Severe burns can occur within
2 hours of swallowing.
In the case of a swallowed cell or battery, seek medical care immediately.

). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types

Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in your
particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery. If you use a medical device (e.g. a pacemaker), please contac t
the device manufacturer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to
external sources of high frequency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Technical
data").

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.
