Safety Precautions - Gigaset A455A Manual

ECO DECT
During a call, the transmission power is automatically adjusted to the distance between handset and base station,
the smaller the distance, the lower the transmission power (radiation). In idle status the transmission power of the
handset is switched off. Only the base station ensures contact with the handset using low radio signals.
Your phone offers you the opportunity to further reduce the transmission power:
1) Reducing transmission power (eco mode)
If the setting Max. Range is switched to off (menu tree
during a call is reduced up to 80% at half range.
2) Deactivating transmission power (eco mode+)

◆
For quick connection of incoming calls the handset repeatedly switches to reception mode for short periods.
This increases energy consumption and therefore reduces the standby and talk times.

Safety precautions

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In case of a power failure it is also not possible to
make emergency calls.
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is activated!
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint shops).
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such as bathrooms
or shower rooms.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Specifications"). Never use a
conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks
and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could interfere with other
wireless services.
Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause injury to hands and
face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is activated. Otherwise
you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause them to overload.
If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in your
particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery. If you use a medical device (e.g. a pacemaker), please contact the
device manufacturer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external
sources of high frequency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Specifications").
