Safety precautions
Warning:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
station or charging cradle.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 57), i.e. never use
a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could
result in significant health risks and personal injury.
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.
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 or when the
handsfree function is activated. 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 base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
The base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 54).
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.
5
Safety precautions
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.
Please note:
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

assigned the lowest available internal
number (1-6).
This will appear in the display when registration is complete, e.g. INT 1. This means
that the number 1 has been assigned.
If the internal numbers 1–6 are already
assigned to other devices, the number 6 is
overwritten.
Please note:
– Automatic registration is only possible
while no calls are being made from the
base station.
– Each key press interrupts the automatic
registration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually
(page 41).
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 44).
Opening the battery cover
¤ Place your fingertip in the cavity on the
casing and pull the battery cover
upwards.
To charge the batteries, leave the handset

ECO DECT
‰
ECO DECT reduces power consumption by
using a power supply with low power consumption and also reduces the transmission power of the base station.
If only one handset is registered and it is in
the base station, eco mode is always acti-
vated automatically. In this case, the
transmission power of the base station is
reduced to the minimum.
You can use your handset to reduce the
transmission power on the base station
manually even when the handset is not in
the base station.
By doing so, you will reduce the transmission power even if you have several handsets registered.
Your handset also reduces the transmission power depending on the distance to
the base station.
Activating/deactivating eco mode:
v ¢ Ð ¢ Base ¢ Add. Features
¢ Eco Mode
§OK§ Press the display key
(=activated).
When eco mode is activated manually, the
½ icon is displayed at the top of the
screen. If eco mode is activated automatically (only one handset is registered and
it is in the base station) and eco mode has
not been activated via the menu, then the
icon is not displayed.
ECO DECT
Please note:
– Activating eco mode reduces the range of
the base station.
– Eco mode and any repeater support (see
page 51) cancel each other out, i.e. both
functions cannot be used at the same time.
– If external handsets (GAP) and handsets
from earlier Gigaset versions are used, your
handset will not automatically reduce the
transmission power to the base station.
