Setting Up The Telephone For Use; Step 1: Connecting The Base Station; Step 2: Setting Up The Handset; Eco Dect - Siemens Gigaset A160 User Manual

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 swit-
ched 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.

◆ Use only the rechargeable battery pack rec-
ommended by Siemens (page 9), i.e. never use
a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack
as this may cause significant 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 mal-
function or be damaged as a result of using batter-
ies that are not of the recommended type.
◆
Never use non-Siemens battery chargers as
this could damage the battery pack.
◆
Only place the handset in the charging cradle
2 that is intended for it.
◆ Insert the plug into the socket as shown in the
enlarged view.

Insert the battery pack.
