ECO DECT
During a call, the transmission power is automatically ad justed 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
¢ page 19), the trans-
mission power in standby mode and during a call is reduced up to 80% at half
range.
2) Deactivating transmission power (eco mode+)
With the setting No Radiation (menu tree
¢ page 19), you turn off the trans-
mission power of the base station in standby mode completely. Please note:
◆ 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
Warn ing
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the device to your children.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Technical data"). Never use a
conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health
risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipme nt. 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 contact 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").
Do n ot hold the rea r of th e hands et to yo ur ear when it is ring ing or when sp eaker mode is activ ated. O therwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing. Your Gigaset is compatible with the
majority of digital hearing aids on the market. However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be
guaranteed. 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.
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such as bathrooms or shower rooms.
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as th ese could interfere with
other wireless services.
Please note
◆ The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit emergency calls.
◆ Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock is activated!

First steps
Check the package contents
Base station and handset package: One Gigaset handset, one Gigaset A415/AS405 base station, one mains adapter,
one phone cord, two batteries, one battery cover, one user guide.
Handset and charging cradle package: One Gigaset handset, one charging cradle with mains adapter, two batteries,
one battery cover, one user guide.
If you have purchased a model with multiple handsets, the package should contain two batteries, a battery cover and
a charging cradle with mains adapter for each additional handset.
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

¤ 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
polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Care: Wipe 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
