flat or mount the base or charging cradle on the wall

Please note

Pay attention to the range of the base. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (

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.

Please note:

u Never 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.

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover

Warning

Only use the rechargeable batteries (¢page 80) recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH, i.e. never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries, as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries could be damaged or the batteries could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of the recommended type.

Placing the handset in the base/charging cradle

¤ Place the handset in the base/charging cradle with its display facing forward.

Each handset is registered with the base at the factory. You do not need to complete a registration. If you wish to use your handset with a different base or use further handsets with your base, you will have to register the handset manually

¢ page 56.

To charge the batteries, leave the handset in the base/charging cradle.

Please note

Only place the handset in the base/charging cradle that is intended for it.

First steps

10 h

Please note

u After the first battery charge and discharge you may replace your handset in

the base/charging cradle after every call.

u Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the

batteries from the handset and reinsert them.

u The batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous. u After a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical

reasons.

You are helping to protect the environment with your Gigaset CS590/CS595.

Reduced energy consumption

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

Reducing radiation

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:

u 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
