Safety precautions

Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions in
detail before using your telephone. Explain their content
and the potential hazards associated with using the tele-
phone to your children.
$
Only use the mains unit supplied.
Only fit the recommended, rechargeable batter-
ies (¢ page 14), i.e. never use any other battery
type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could
result in significant health risks and personal
injury.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical
equipment. 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 humming
noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or shower
room. The handset and base are not splashproof.
Do not use your phone in environments with a
potential explosion hazard, e.g. paint shops.
ƒ
If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure
you also give them the user guide.
Remove faulty bases from use or have them
repaired by our Service department, 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.
All electrical and electronic products should be
disposed of separately from the municipal waste
stream via designated collection facilities
appointed by the government or the local author-
ities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the prod-
uct means the product is covered by the European
Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of
your old appliance will help prevent potential neg-
ative consequences for the environment and
human health. It is a precondition for reuse and
recycling of used electrical and electronic equip-
ment.
For more detailed information about disposal of
your old appliance, please contact your local
council refuse centre or the original supplier of the
product.

Caring for your telephone

Wipe the base, charger and handset with a damp
cloth (do not use solvent) or an antistatic cloth.
Never use a dry cloth as this can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset should come into contact with liquid:
u Switch the handset off and remove the batteries
immediately.
u Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
u 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 or similar).
u Do not switch on the handset again until it is
completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will usually be able to
use it again

ECO DECT

You are helping to protect the environment with
your Gigaset A400/A400A.
Reducing energy consumption
Your telephone has a power-saving adapter plug
and uses less power.
Reducing radiation
The radiation from your telephone is reduced auto-
matically:
Handset: the closer the handset is to the base, the
lower the radiation.
Base: 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 of the handset and
base even more by using Eco Mode/Eco Mode+
(see menu tree page 18):
u Eco Mode: 80% radiation reduction in standby
mode and during a call (the range of the base is
reduced).
u Eco Mode+: The radiation is switched off in
standby mode (top left display icon
and hold the talk key
can be reached. You hear the ringing tone if the
base can be reached. WhenEco Mode+ is acti-
vated handset standby time is reduced by
approx. 50%.
Eco Mode/Eco Mode+ can be activated/deactivated
independently of one another. Registering handsets
that do not support Eco Mode+ will cause the mode
to be deactivated on the base and all other hand-
sets.
