Safety precautions

Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock 

(

¢

 p. 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 anti-

static cloth. 

Never

 use a dry cloth. This can cause static. 

Contact with liquid 

If the handset has come into contact with liquid:

◆

Switch off the handset and remove the bat-

tery pack 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 hours

 (

not

 in a microwave, oven etc.).

◆

Do 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.

Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully 

before use. Explain their contents and the potential haz-

ards associated with using the telephone to your chil-

dren.

Only use 

the mains unit supplied

.

Fit only the 

recommended, rechargeable 

batteries

 (

¢

 p. 11), i.e. never use a conven-

tional (non-rechargeable) battery or other bat-

tery 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 hum-

ming 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.

Disposal

Batteries should not be disposed of in general 

household waste. Observe the local waste dis-

posal regulations, details of which can be 

obtained from your local authority or the dealer

tial harm to the environment and to health.

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

is registered and the handset is in the base sta-

tion.
You can reduce the transmission power of the 

handset and base station 

even more

 by using 

Eco Mode/Eco Mode+

 (see Menu tree

 p. 14):

◆

Eco Mode:

 80% transmission power reduc-

tion in standby mode and during a call (the 

range of the base station is reduced).

 100% transmission power deac-

tivation in standby mode (top left display 

icon

Press and hold

 the talk key 

c

 to 

check that the base station can be reached.
