Care
Wipe down the base station and handset with a damp cloth (no solvents) or an antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Contact with liquid !
If the handset should come into contact with liquid:
Switch the handset off and remove the batteries 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 AS280/AS280DUO/AS285.
Reduced energy consumption
Your telephone has a power-saving adapter plug and uses less power.
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 station.
You can reduce the transmission power of the handset and base station even more by using
Eco¢ Mode/Eco Mode+ (see Menu tree page 16):
Eco Mode: 80% transmission power reduction 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 station can be reached.
