Safety precautions
Warning:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
station or charging cradle.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 56), i.e. never use
a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could
result in significant health risks and personal injury.
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.
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 or when the
handsfree function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent dam-
age to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
The base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 53).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g. paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user
guide.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by Siemens
Service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

ECO DECT
Gigaset C470/C475 / Grossbritannien / A31008-M1902-L101-1-7619 / starting.fm / 6.8.07
Version 4, 16.09.2005
ECO DECT
ECO DECT reduces power consumption by
using a power supply with low power con-
sumption and also reduces the transmis-
sion power of the base station.
If only one handset is registered and it is in
the base station, eco mode is always acti-
vated automatically. In this case, the
transmission power of the base station is
reduced to the minimum.
You can use your handset to reduce the
transmission power on the base station
manually even when the handset is not in
the base station.
By doing so, you will reduce the transmis-
sion power even if you have several hand-
sets registered.
Your handset also reduces the transmis-
sion power depending on the distance to
the base station.
Activating/deactivating eco mode:
v¢Ð¢Base ¢Add. Features
¢Eco Mode
§OK§ Press the display key
(=activated).
When eco mode is activated manually, the
½ icon is displayed at the top of the
screen. If eco mode is activated automat-
ically (only one handset is registered and
it is in the base station) and eco mode has
not been activated via the menu, then the
icon is not displayed.
Please note:
– Activating eco mode reduces the range of
the base station.
– Eco mode and any repeater support (see
page 50) cancel each other out, i.e. both
functions cannot be used at the same time.
– If external handsets (GAP) and handsets
from earlier Gigaset versions are used, your
handset will not automatically reduce the
transmission power to the base station.

d.

¤Pressing the talk key c.
¤Pressing the handsfree key d.

Calling Line Identification
When you receive a call, the caller's
number is displayed on the screen if the
following conditions are met:
uYour network provider supports CLIP,
CLI.
– CLI (Calling Line Identification): the
caller's number is transmitted.
– CLIP (Calling Line Identification Pres-
entation): the caller's number is dis-
played.
uYou have arranged CLIP with your net-
work provider.
uThe caller has arranged CLI with the
network provider.
Call display with CLIP/CLI
If the number of the caller is saved in your
directory, you will see their name, and if
you have assigned a CLIP picture to that
caller, this will also be displayed.
Please note:
Dialling using the directory, the call-by-call list
(page 1, page 20) or the calls and last number
redial list (page 23/page 22) saves you from
having to re-enter numbers and network pro-
vider prefixes ("call-by-call numbers").
