Safety precautions

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”).

ECO DECT
ECO DECT uses less energy and reduces transmission power.
Reducing transmission power (radiation)
In normal operation (default setting):
The device range is set to maximum as default. This guarantees optimum wireless management. In idle status, the handset will not function (as it is not transmitting). Only the base will maintain contact with the handset via a low wireless signal. During a call, the transmission power automatically adapts to the distance between the base and handset. A closer distance to the base means lower transmission power. You can reduce the transmission power even further:
33

ECO DECT

1. Reducing the range and thereby lowering transmission power by up to 80%
   In many spaces such as apartments, business rooms and offices, the maximum range is not necessary. If you deactivate the Maximum Range setting, you can reduce the transmission power during a call by up to 80%, using half of the range.
   v ¤ Ï ¤ OK ¤ q ECO DECT ¤ OK ¤ Maximum Range ¤ Change (³ = activated) Display icon for reduced range ¢ page 52. This setting cannot be used with a repeater (¢ page 32).
2. Deactivating DECT wireless module in idle status (Eco Mode+)
   With the No Radiation setting, you can deactivate the transmission power of the base completely during idle status.
   v ¤ Ï ¤ OK ¤ q ECO DECT ¤ OK ¤ q No Radiation ¤ Change (³ = activated)
   When the wireless model is deactivated, the icon ¼ is displayed in idle status instead of the signal strength icon.
   This setting cannot be used with a repeater (¢ page 32).
   Notes
   u To enjoy the benefits of the No Radiation setting, all registered handsets must support this feature.
   u When the No Radiation setting is activated and a handset is registered to the base that does not support this feature, No Radiation will automatically be deactivated. As soon as this handset is de-registered, No Radiation will automatically be re-activated.
   u The wireless connection will only be established for an incoming or outgoing call and the connection will be delayed by about 2 seconds.
   u So that a handset can establish a wireless connection with the base more quickly for an incoming call, it must “listen” to the base more often, i.e. scan the environment. This increases power usage and reduces the standby and talktime duration of the handset.
   u When No Radiation is activated, there will be no range display/range alarm on the handset. Contactability can be tested by assigning a line: Press and hold the Answer call key c. You will hear the ringing tone.
