Gigaset (Widex) W570A – Premium cordless phone with direct
transmission to Widex hearing aids
The W570A is a premium large button cordless landline phone that transmits phone calls
wirelessly and in real-time directly to Widex hearing systems. No supplementary devices are
required. You can hear the person you are speaking to directly over both hearing systems and
also have best possiblespeech comprehension when making calls. Simplicity of use and modern
design are standout features of the W570A. It is used like a standard phone and works without
any conversions also without hearing systems.
Features
•Makes phone calls stress-free yet with best speech comprehension thanks to the direct and
simultaneous transmission of phone conversations into both hearing systems without
additional devices.
•Automatic coupling by means of AutoConnect function. The phone automatically
establishes a wireless connection to the hearing aids as soon as it is located near hearing
systems. The energy-efficient WidexLink wireless technology is deployed. No additional
power is drawn from the hearing aid batteries.
•Transmission in real-time. You can hold a conversation immediately after you accept a call.
•Compatible with all Widex hearing systems based upon universal chip platform Unique/
Beyond (or newer) and featuring the Widex-Link technology.
•Premium large button cordless phone that can also be used by family members and guests
who have normal hearing. This means no additional phone is required in the household.

•Memory capacity for up to 150 phone numbers
•Answer machine with user function
•Handsfree function with volume control
•Emergency call function
•Range up to 300 metres from the base station (depending on local conditions)

Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In case of a power failure it
is also not possible to make emergency calls.
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is activated!
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see list of permit-
ted batteries www.gigaset.com/service). Never use a conventional (non-rechargea-
ble) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and per-
sonal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.
The handset must not be operated if the battery cover is open.
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g. paint shops).
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environ-
ment such as bathrooms or shower rooms.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these
could interfere with other wireless services.
Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause
injury to hands and face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode
is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or
cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery. If you use a medical
device (e.g. a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. They will be able to
advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high fre-
quency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Technical data").
