Reduced energy consumption

Your telephone has a power-saving adapter plug and uses less power.

Reduced transmission power (depending on the base station)

The transmission power can only be reduced if your base station supports this function.

The transmission power of your telephone is reduced automatically:

◆The handset's transmission power is reduced depending on the distance to the base station.

◆The transmission power on the base station is reduced to virtually zero when only one handset is regis-

tered and the handset is in the base station.

You can reduce the transmission power of the handset and base station even more by using Eco Mode/Eco

Mode+. For further information, please see your phone's user guide.

(¢ page 1) is activated!

Not all of the functions described in this user guide are avail-

able in all countries.

Care

Wipe the charging cradle and the handset with a

damp cloth (do not use solvent) or an antistatic cloth.

Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset should come into contact with liquid:

◆Switch the handset off and remove the batteries

immediately.

◆Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.

◆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 etc.).

◆Do not switch on the handset again until it is

completely dry.

When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able

to use it again.

Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully

before use. Explain their content and the potential hazards

associated with using the telephone to your children.

Only use the mains adapter supplied.

Fit only the recommended, rechargeable

batteries (¢ page 9), i.e. never use any other

battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this

could result in significant health risks and personal

injury.

The operation of medical appliances may be

affected. 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 phone is not splashproof.

Do not use your phone in environments with a

potential explosion hazard, e.g. paint shops.

If you give your phone to someone else, make sure

you also give them the user guide.

Setting up the charging cradle

The charging cradle is designed to be operated in enclosed, dry areas at temperatures ranging

from +5°C to +45°C.

¤Place the charging cradle on a level, non-slip surface.

The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of

different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the

surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.

You can also mount the charging cradle on the wall.

Please note:

◆Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other elec-

trical devices.

◆Protect your Mitel from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

Connecting the charging cradle

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. The

range is reduced when Eco Mode (¢ page 1) is activated.

¤Connect the flat plug from the power supply 1.

¤Plug the mains adapter into the plug socket 2.

If you need to disconnect the plug from the charging cradle,

press the release button 1 and disconnect the plug 2.

ference that may cause undesired operation of the

device.

NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified

equipment. This certification means that the equip-

ment meets certain telecommunications network,

protective, operational and safety requirements as

prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment

Technical Requirements document(s). The Depart-

ment does not guarantee the equipment will operate

to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure

that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities

of the local telecommunications company. The

equipment must also be installed using an accepta-

ble method of connection. The customer should be

aware that compliance with the above conditions

may not prevent degradation of service in some situ-

ations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated

by a representative designated by the supplier.

Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this

equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the

telecommunications company cause to request the

FCC / ACTA Information

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not

expressly approved by Gigaset Communications USA

LLC could void the FCC authority to operate the

equipment. This includes the addition of any external

antenna device.

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules

and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the

bottom of the base station is a label that contains,

among other information, a product identifier in the

format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number

must be provided to the telephone company.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to

the premises wiring and telephone network must

comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and

requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant tele-

phone cord and modular plug is provided with this

product. It is designed to be connected to a compati-

ble modular jack that is also compliant. See installa-

tion instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices

that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive

RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not

ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but

not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five

(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may

be connected to a line, as determined by the total

RENs, contact the local telephone company.

For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for

this product is part of the product identifier that has

the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits repre-

sented by ## are the REN without a decimal point

(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is

separately shown on the label.

A copy of the supplier's Declaration of Conformity

(SDoC) is available at this Internet address:

www.gigaset.com/docs.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone

network, the telephone company will notify you

advance, that temporary discontinuance of service

may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical,

the telephone company will notify the customer as

soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your

right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it

is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its

facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that

could affect the operation of the equipment. If this

happens the telephone company will provide

advance notice in order for you to make necessary

modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If

you experience trouble with this telephone system,

disconnect it from the network until the problem has

been corrected or until you are sure that the equip-

ment is not malfunctioning.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for

repair or warranty information, please contact Sup-

port at 1-866 247-8758. If the equipment is causing

AS18X/AS28X / en master / A31008-M2001-B101-1-19 / main.fm / 19.01.2011

harm to the telephone network, the telephone com-

pany may request that you disconnect the equip-

ment until the problem is resolved. This equipment is

This telephone system equipment has been tested

and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,

and (2) This device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-

ference in a residential installation. Some cordless tel-

ephones operate at frequencies that may cause inter-

ference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s; to minimize or pre-

vent such interference, the system base should not be

placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if interfer-

ence is experienced, moving the base farther away

from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate

the interference.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will

not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone

system does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by

turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged

to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the base station

and receiver.

3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV

technician for help.
