Automatic network provider code (preselection)

You can specify a call-by-call number (preselection number) that is automatically placed in front of numbers when you dial them.

"rule" for dialling code numbers or the

first digits of dialling code numbers with

which you wish the preselection number

to be used.

u The "without preselection" list contains

the "exception to the rule".

Example:

You have entered 08 for "with preselec-

tion". Now all numbers that start with 08

will be dialled with preselection.

If, for example, you want 081 to still be

dialled without preselection, enter 081

for "without preselection". When dialling, the first digits of the selected

numbers are compared with both lists after the talk/handsfree key is pressed:

u The preselection number is not prefixed if

the dialled number

– does not match any entries in the two

lists

– matches an entry in the "without

preselection" list

ECO DECT

You are helping to protect the environment with your Gigaset.

Reduced energy consumption

By using an energy-saving power supply, your telephone consumes less power.

Reduced transmission power

The radiation from your telephone is reduced automatically:

u Handset: The closer the handset is to the

base, the lower the radiation.

u Base station: The radiation is reduced to

virtually zero when only one handset is registered and the handset is placed in the base.

You can reduce the radiation from the handset and base even more by using Eco Mode:

Eco Mode Reduces the radiation of the base station and handset by 80% - whether you are making a call or not. Eco Mode reduces the range of the base station by approx. 50%. Using Eco Mode always makes sense when a reduced range is sufficient

Switching off radiation

Eco Mode+ When you activate Eco Mode+, radiation (DECT transmission power) from the base and handset is switched off in the idle state. This is also true when multiple handsets are used, provided the handsets support Eco

Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset has come into contact with liquid:

1. Switch off the handset and remove the battery pack immediately.

2. Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.

3. 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.).

4. Do not switch on the handset again until it is completely dry.
