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 hand-
set 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 16), the trans-
mission 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 Radiation (menu tree
¢ page 16), you turn off the trans-
mission 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.

Safety precautions
First steps
Check the package contents
Base station and handset package: One Gigaset handset, one Gigaset A420 base station, one mains adapter, one phone
cord, two batteries, one battery cover, one user guide.
Handset and charging cradle package: One Gigaset handset,
one charging cradle with mains adapter, two batteries,
one battery cover, one user guide.
If you have purchased a model with
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
poli
shes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
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 rechargeable batteries that co
rrespond to the specification (see "Technical Data"). Never use a con-
ventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in sig
nificant 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
advise
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 r
inging 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 hearing ai
ds 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.
If you r
equire assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not in
stal
l 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
wire
less 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!
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.

Care: Wipe 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
Connecting the charging cradle (if included)
Setting up the handset for use
The display is protected by a plastic film. Please remove the protective film!
Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
¤
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.
Warning
Use only the rechargeable ba
tteries r
ecommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH (¢ page 13), i.e., never use
conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries as this could result 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.
