Safety precautions
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
¢ page 24), the transmission power in standby mode and
during a call is reduced up to 80% at half range.
2) Deactivating transmission power (eco mode+)
With the setting No Rad
iation (menu tree ¢ page 24), you turn off the transmission power of the base station in
standby mode completely. Please note:
◆ All registered handsets must support this feature.
◆ 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.
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the device to your children.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Use only r
echargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Technical Data"). Never use a con-
ventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could r
esult in significant health risks and
personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment
. Be aware of the technical conditions in your par-
ticular 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
ad
vise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high frequency energy (for the spec-
ifications of your Gigaset product see "Technical Data").
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.
Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hear
ing aids on the market. However, perfect function
with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.
The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause them to overload.
I
f you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not in
stall them in a damp environment such as bathrooms
or shower rooms.
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could interfere with other
wi
reless services.
Please note
◆ The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit emergency calls.
◆ Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock is activated!

First steps
Check the package contents
Base station and handset package: One Gigaset handset, one Gigaset A420/A420A base station, one mains adapter,
one phone cord, two batteries, one battery cover, one user guide.
Handset and charging cradle package: One Gi
gaset handset, one charging cradle with mains adapter, two batteries,
one battery cover, one user guide.
If you have purchased a model w
ith multiple handsets, the package should contain two batteries, a battery cover and
a charging cradle with mains adapter for each additional handset.
Setting up the base station and charging cradle (if included)
The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature range of +5 °C to
+45 °C.
¤ Set up the base station at a central location on a flat, non-slip surface in your house or apartment. You can also
mount the base station and charging cradle on the wall.
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of different varnishes and
po
lishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Care: W
ipe down the base station, the charging cradle and the handset with a damp cloth (no solvents) or an antistatic
cloth. Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Please note:
◆ Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical devices.
◆ Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
Connecting the base station
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base station. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m
inside buildings.
¤ First connect the mains adapter 1.
¤ Then connect the telephone jack 2 and insert the
cables into the cable ducts.
Please note:
◆ The mains adapter must always be connected, as the
phone will not operate without mains connection.
◆ Only use the mains adapter and phone cord supplied.
Pin connections on telephone cables can vary.
◆ The answering machine (A420A only) is ready for use
approx. 30 seconds after the base station has been con-
nected.

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Warning
Use only the rechargeable ba
tteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH (¢ page 19), i.e., never use
conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries as this could resul
t in significant health risks and personal injury. For
example, the batteries could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batter-
ies that are not of the recommended type.
¤ Connect the flat plug from the power
