ECO DECT
ECO DECT reduces power consumption by using a
power supply with low power consumption and
also reduces the transmission power of the base
station.
The transmission power of the base station is
switched off when just 1 handset is registered on
the base station!
Your handset also reduces the transmission power
depending on the distance to the base station.
Setting up the telephone for use

First connect the mains unit (230 V) to power
cord

cord

recesses. The two cords must be plugged in at all
times.
◆ Only use the mains unit supplied.

phone conductors/EURO CTR37.

◆ Place the battery leads in the cable guides so
that the battery cover cannot catch on the leads
and damage them when it is closed.
◆ Use only the rechargeable battery pack rec-
ommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH *
(page 9), i.e. never use a conventional (non-
rechargeable) battery pack as this may cause sig-
nificant damage to health and property. For
example, the outer casing of the battery pack
could be destroyed or the battery pack could
explode. The phone could also malfunction or be
damaged as a result of using batteries that are not
of the recommended type.
◆ Only use the battery charger supplied.
◆ Only place the handset in the charging cradle
that is intended for it.
