If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make
ƒ
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.
All electrical and electronic products should be
disposed of separately from the municipal
waste stream via designated collection facilities

ECO DECT

ECO DECT reduces power consumption by using an
energy efficient power supply and also reduces the
transmission power of the base station.
The transmission power of the base station is
reduced when just one handset is registered to the
base station and the handset is in the base station.
Your handset also reduces the transmission power
depending on the distance to the base station.

Setting up the telephone for use

Step 1: Connecting the base station

1
First connect the mains unit (230 V) to power cord
1
and then connect the phone jack to phone cord
2
, as shown above. Place the cords in the cord
recesses. The two cords must be plugged in at all
times.
2
◆ Only use the mains unit supplied and the
phone cords supplied.
◆
If you ever purchase another phone cord from
a store, ensure that the phone conductors are cor-
rectly connected: 3-4 connection of the telephone
conductors/EURO CTR37.
◆
You can also mount the base station on the
wall.

Step 2: Setting up the handset

Please note:
The display is protected by a plastic film.
Please remove the protective film!
Fitting the battery pack
◆
Place the battery leads in the lead guides so
that the battery cover cannot catch on leads and
damage them when it is closed.
◆
Use only the rechargeable battery pack rec-
ommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH
(page 8), i.e. never use a conventional (non-
rechargeable) battery pack as this could result in
significant health risks and personal injury. For
example, the battery pack could explode. The
phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a
result of using batteries that are not of the recom-
mended type.
◆
Never use non-Gigaset battery chargers as
this could damage the battery pack.
◆
Only place the handset in the charging cradle
that is intended for it.
