Safety precautions

Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully before use. Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.

Only use the mains adapter supplied.

Fit only the recommended, rechargeable batteries

(¢ page 13), i.e. never use any other

battery type or non-rechargeable batteries 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 sur-

gery. 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.

If 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.

Observe the local waste dis posal 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 authori ties. 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 healt h. They are a precondition for the re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

¢ 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 place the handset with the

battery compartment open and the keypad facing down in a dry, warm place for at least 72 (not in a microwave, oven etc.).

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 AS200/AS200A.

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 regis tered 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

◆ 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 deacti-

vation in standby mode (top left display icon ½). Press and hold the talk key base station can be reached. You will hear the ringing tone if the base station can be reached. Registering handsets that do not support Eco Mode+ causes the mode to be deactivated on the base and all other handsets.
