Environmental benefits of the Aton CL108
The Aton CL108 has a low level of energy consumption and reduces radiation.
Reduced power consumption
Your telephone has a power-saving adapter plug and uses 60% less power than standard devices. Power
consumption in standby mode is approx. 1.3 watt.
Minimal radiation
The Aton CL108 with its preset Eco mode+ switches off all radiation when in idle status. During a call,
the handset reduces the transmission power according to the distance from the base station.
In addition, you also have the option of further reducing the transmission power of your Aton CL108
during a call by reducing the range.
For further information, please see your phone's user guide.

Safety precautions
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock
(¢page 1) is activated!
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are
available 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 liq-
uid:
◆Switch the handset off and remove the bat-
teries immediately.
◆Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
◆Pat all parts dry, then with the battery compart-
ment open and the keypad facing 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 normally be
able to use it again.
Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully
before use. Explain their contents and the potential haz-
ards associated with using the telephone to your chil-
dren.
Only use the mains unit supplied.
Fit only the recommended, rechargeable
batteries (¢page 9), i.e. never use a
conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or
other battery types 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 sur-
gery.
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 hum-
ming 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.
Information about disposal

not be disposed of with normal household
waste, but must be handed in at the place of
purchase or at a collection point for recycling
electrical and electronic devices in accordance
with the ordinance governing the return,
acceptance and disposal of electrical and elec-
tronic equipment (VREG).
The materials can be recycled according to their
identification. By reusing and recycling materi-
als along with other methods of recycling used
equipment, you can make an important contri-

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 multi-
tude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of
marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.

electrical devices.
◆Protect your telephone from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
Connecting the charging cradle
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base station.
