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 14), 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.
ƒsure you also give them the user guide.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by 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 or the dealer you purchased the product from.
All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from general household waste using the sites designated by local authorities.
If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is subject to European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondition 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.If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make
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 the base station, charging cradle and handset with a damp cloth (do not use solvent) or an antistatic cloth.
Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Contact with liquid !
If the handset has come into contact with liquid:
uSwitch off the handset and remove the battery pack immediately.
u Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
uPat 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.).
uDo 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 AL180/AL185/AL280/AL285.
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 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 23):
uEco Mode: 80% transmission power reduction in standby mode and during a call (the range of the base station is reduced).
uEco Mode+: 100% transmission power deactivation 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.

First steps
Check the pack contents
u One Gigaset AL180/AL185/AL280/AL285 base station, u one mains adapter,
u one Gigaset AL18H/AL28H handset, u one phone cord,
u two batteries,
u one battery cover, u 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 +45 °C.
¤Set up the base station at a central location on a flat, non-slip surface in your house or apartment.
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 range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (¢ page 23).
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.
You can also mount the base station and charging cradle on the wall.
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
