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

Do not operate the phone in places where there is a risk of explosion (such as paint workshops).

Do not install the base station in the bathroom. The handset and base station are not splash-proof (see page 30).

Drivers must not use the phone while driving.

The phone must be turned off at all times in aircraft. Make sure the phone can-

not be switched on accidentally.

Gigaset C185 – more than just a telephone

Your phone not only lets you store up to 70 phone numbers (page 14), it can do a whole lot more:

u Phone directly using the base station:

Your base station has the same keys as your handset. So nearly all functions you usually use on the handset are also available directly on the base station.

u View missed calls on your phone

(page 15).

u ECO DECT uses a power supply with

low power consumption. Your handset reduces the transmission power depending on its distance from the base station (close-up range).

Note:

The transmission power of the base station is lowered to its minimum level when the handset is placed in the base station and only one handset is registered on the base station.
