Safety precautions
Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully before use. Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains unit supplied.
$
Fit only the¢recommended, rechargeable batteries ( page 12), i.e. never use a conventional (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.
ƒIf 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 disposal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your local authority.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC..
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your local council refuse centre or the original supplier of the product.
Emergency¢ numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock ( page 1) is activated!
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
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 with the battery compartment open and the keypad facing down place the handset 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 WDCT
You are helping to protect the environment with your Gigaset A680/A685.
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 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.

¤ Place the handset with the display facing up in the base station.
The handset registers automatically. Registration can take up to 5 minutes.
Do not remove the handset from the base station during this time.

–= e V U (flat to full)
–= flashes: batteries almost flat
–e V U flashes: charging
If you have purchased a model with multiple handsets, repeat the registration process for each individual handset. Handsets are assigned the lowest available internal number (1-4). If more than one handset is registered to the base station, the internal handset number appears in the top left of the display, e.g. 2. If the internal numbers 1–4 are already assigned to other devices, the number 4 will be overwritten.
Please note
