ECO DECT

You are helping to protect the environment with your Gigaset A490/A495.

Reduced energy consumption

Your telephone has an energy-saving adapter plug and uses less energy.

Reduced transmission power

The transmission power of your telephone is reduced automatically:

The handset's transmission power is reduced depending on the distance to the base sta-

tion. The base station’s transmission power is reduced to almost zero when only one

handset is registered 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 (see Menu tree page 25):

70% transmission power reduction in standby mode (top left display icon ½) and during

a call. The range of the base station is reduced. Press and hold the talk key c to check

that the base station can be reached. You will hear the dialling tone if the base station can

be reached.

Safety precautions

Emergency numbers cannot be dialed if the key-

pad lock (¢ page 1) is activated!

Not all of the functions described in this user

guide are available in all countries.

Caring for your phone

Wipe down the base station and handset

with a damp cloth (no solvents) or an anti-

static cloth. Never use a dry cloth. This can

cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset comes into contact with liq-

uid:

◆Switch the handset off and remove the

batteries immediately.

◆Allow the liquid to drain from the hand-

set.

◆Pat all parts dry, then with the battery

compartment open and the keypad fac-

ing down place the handset 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 nor-

mally be able to use it again.

Read this user guide and the safety precautions

carefully before use. Explain their contents and

the potential hazards associated with using the

telephone to your children.

Use only the power adapter sup-

plied.

Only insert approved rechargeable

batteries of the same type. Never use

ordinary (non-rechargeable) batteries

as they may pose a health hazard or

cause injury.

Using your telephone may affect

nearby medical equipment. Be aware

of the technical conditions in your par-

ticular environment, e.g. doctor's sur-

gery.

Notice to Hearing Aid Wearers:

This phone system is compatible with

inductively coupled hearing aids.

Do not install the phone in a bathroom

or shower room. The handset and base

station are not splashproof.

Do not use your phone in environ-

ments with a potential explosion haz-

ard, e.g. paint shops.

If you give your phone to a third party,

make sure you also give them the user

guide.

Remove faulty base stations from use

as they could interfere with other wire-

less services.

Disposal

Batteries should not be disposed of in

general household waste. Observe the

local waste disposal regulations,

details of which can be obtained from

your local authority or the dealer you

purchased the product from.

All electrical and electronic equipment

must be disposed of separately from

general household waste using the

sites designated by local authorities.

The appropriate disposal and separate

collection of used equipment serve to

prevent potential harm to the environ-

ment and to health. They are a prereq-

uisite for the re-use and recycling of

used electrical and electronic equip-

ment.

For further information on disposing of

your used equipment, please contact

your local authority, your refuse collec-

tion service or the dealer you pur-

chased the product from.

First steps

Checking the package contents

◆One Gigaset A490/A495 base station,

◆One power adapter,

◆One Gigaset A49H handset,

◆One phone cord,

◆Two batteries,

◆One battery cover,

◆One user guide.

If you have purchased a model with multiple handsets, the package should con-

tain two batteries, a battery cover and a charging cradle with power 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 dry rooms in a tem-

perature range of +41°F to +113°F.

¤Set up the base station at a central location in your building on a flat, 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 base station and charging cradle on the wall.

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 fumes.

Please note

Pay attention to the range of the base station.

This is up to 984 feet in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 165 feet inside

buildings.

¤Connect the plug from the power

adapter 1.

¤Plug the power adapter into the plug

socket 2.

¤Then connect the telephone jack 3

and insert the cables into the cable

ducts.

Please note:

◆The power adapter must always be

connected, as the phone will not

operate without electrical power.

◆Use only the power adapter and

phone cord supplied. Pin connec-

tions on telephone cables can vary.

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

Warning

Use only rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) UL-approved AAA batter-

ies recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH (¢ page 16). Never

use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types 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 batteries that are not of the recommended type.

Placing the handset in the base/charger

¤Place the handset in the base/charger with its display facing forward.

Each handset of your package is registered with the base at the factory. You do not

need to register the handset again. To use your handset with a different base or

use additional handsets with your base, you must register the handset manually

(¢ page 13).

To charge the batteries, leave the handset in the base/charger.

Please note

Only place the handset in the base/charger that came with the handset.

¤Insert the batteries with the polar-

ity in the correct direction.

The polarity is indicated in/on the

battery compartment.

¤Slide the battery cover from the

bottom up onto the casing until it

clicks into place.

¤To open the battery cover, for

instance to replace the bat-

teries, press the ribbing at

the top of the battery cover

and slide it downward.

The charge status is indicated by the top right display icon. After the initial charg-

ing procedure a complete charging to full capacity takes at least 18 hours.

◆U battery full

◆e steady: medium capacity

◆e flashes: batteries almost flat

◆U flashes: charging when the handset is in the charging cradle

Please note

◆To get the full talk and standby times, 2 to 3 full charge and discharge

cycles are needed.

◆After the third battery charge and discharge you may replace your handset

in the base station or charging cradle after every call.

◆Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the

batteries from the handset and reinsert them.

◆The batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.

◆After a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for techni-

cal reasons.

Warning

long time (e.g. during holidays) or remove the batteries from the handset. Oth-

erwise the batteries could be damaged.

¤Place the handset in the base station or charging cradle for 18

hours.

¤Then remove the handset from the base station or charging cra-

dle and do not replace it until the batteries are completely dis-

charged.

FCC / ACTA Information

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit

not expressly approved by Gigaset Communica-

tions USA LLC could void the FCC authority to

operate the equipment. This includes the addi-

tion 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 telephone cord and modular plug is

provided with this product. It is designed to be

connected to a compatible modular jack that is

also compliant. See installation 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 serv-

ice 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 pro-

vide advance notice in order for you to make nec-

essary modifications to maintain uninterrupted

service. If you experience trouble with this tele-

phone system, disconnect it from the network

until the problem has been corrected or until you

are sure that the equipment is not malfunction-

ing.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for

repair or warranty information, please contact

Support at 1-866 247-8758. If the equipment is

causing harm to the telephone network, the tele-

phone company may request that you disconnect

the equipment until the problem is resolved. This

equipment is of a type that is not intended to be

repaired by the Customer (user).

This telephone system may not be used on coin

service provided by the telephone company. Con-

nection to party line service is subject to state tar-

iffs. Contact the state public utility commission,

public service commission or corporation com-

mission for information. Privacy of communica-

tions may not be ensured when using this phone.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment

connected to the telephone line, ensure the

installation of this equipment does not disable

your alarm equipment. If you have questions

about what will disable alarm equipment, consult

your telephone company or a qualified installer.

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 inter-

ference that may cause undesired operation.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a resi-

dential installation. Some cordless telephones

operate at frequencies that may cause interfer-

ence 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

interference is experienced, moving the base far-

ther 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 tel-

ephone 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 interfer-

ence by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the base sta-

tion and receiver.

3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a cir-

cuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV

technician for help.
