ECO DECT

You are helping to protect the environment with your Gigaset A490.

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 base station’s transmission power is reduced to almost zero when only one hand-

set is registered and the handset is in the base station.

You can reduce the transmission power of the handset and base station even further by
using Eco Mode. For further information, please see your phone's user guide.

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.

Use only the power adapter sup-
plied.

$

Only insert approved rechargeable
batteries of the same type. Never use

ordinary (non-rechargeable) batteries
as they may pose a health hazard or
cause injury.

Using your telephone may affect
nearby medical equipment. Be aware
of the technical conditions in your par­ticular environment, e.g. doctor's sur­gery.

Notice to Hearing Aid Wearers:
This phone system is compatible with
inductively coupled hearing aids.

Do not install the phone in a bathroom
or shower room. The handset is not
splashproof.

Do not use your phone in environ­ments with a potential explosion haz­ard, e.g. paint shops.

If you give your phone to a third part y,
make sure you also give them the user

ƒ

guide.

Remove faulty base stations from use
as they could interfere with other wire­less services.

details of which can be obtained from
your local authority or the dealer you
purchased the product from.
All electrical and electronic equip ment
must be disposed of separately from
general household waste using the
sites designated by local authorities.
The appropriate disposal and separate
collection of used equipment serve to
prevent potential harm to the environ­ment and to health. They are a prereq­uisite for the re-use and recycling 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.

Not all of the functions described in this user
guide are available in all countries.

Caring for your phone

Wipe down the 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 comes into contact with liq­uid:

◆ Switch the handset off and remove the

batteries immediately.

◆ Allow the liquid to drain from the hand-

set.

◆ 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.

First steps

Checking the package contents

◆ One Gigaset A49H handset,

◆ One charging cradle with power adapter,

◆ Two batteries,

◆ One battery cover,

◆ One user guide.

Setting up the charging cradle

The charging cradle is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of
+41°F to +113°F.

¤ Set up the charging cradle at a central location in your building on a flat, non-

slip surface.

Please note

Pay attention to the range of the base station.
This is up to 984 feet in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 165 feet inside
buildings.

The 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.

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 fumes.

Connecting the base station

¤ Connect the plug from the charging cradle.

Use only rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) UL-approved AAA batter­ies recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH (
use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this
could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the
batteries could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as
a result of using batteries that are not of the recommended type.

¤ Insert the batteries with the polar-

ity in the correct direction.
The polarity is indicated in/on the
battery compartment.

discharged.

¤ Place the handset in the base station or charging cradle for 18

18 h

hours.

¤ Then remove the handset from the base station or charging cra-

dle and do not replace it until the batteries are completely dis­charged.

◆ After the first battery charge and discharge you may replace your handset

in the base station or charging cradle after every call.

◆ Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the

batteries from the handset and reinsert them.

◆ The batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.

◆ After a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for techni-

cal reasons.

Please ensure that the handset is in the charging cradle if you are absent for a
long time (e.g. during holidays) or remove the batteries from the handset. Oth­erwise the batteries could be damaged.

operate at frequencies that may cause interfer­ence to nearby TV’s and VCR’s; to minimize or pre­vent such interference, the system base should
not be pl aced near or on t op of a TV or VC R; and , if
interference is experienced, moving the base far­ther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or
eliminate the interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this tel­ephone system does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the system off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer­ence by one or more of the following measures:

in

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the base sta­tion and receiver.
