Following safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use. Explain their
content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to
your children.
Use only the power adapter supplied.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification pro-
vided on page 48, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks
and personal injury.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. 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 or when
handsfree mode is activated. This may cause serious and permanent dam-
age to your hearing.
Your telephone is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on
the market. However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guar-
anteed.
The handset may cause interference in analogue hearing aids. If you require
assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
Do not install the charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charger is not
splashproof (¢page 47).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g., paint shops).
If you give your phone to a third party, make sure you also give them the
user guide.
Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service, as
these could interfere with other wireless services.

Environmental benefits of the Aton CL317
Gigaset E500H / Aton CL317 / Schweiz PTT EN / A31008-M2256-F151-1-2X19 / security.fm / 07.07.2010
Information about 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.
At the end of its service life, this product must not be disposed of with nor-
mal household waste, but must be handed in at the place of purchase or at
a collection point for recycling electrical and electronic devices in accord-
ance with the ordinance governing the return, acceptance and disposal of
electrical and electronic equipment (VREG).
The materials can be recycled according to their identification. By reusing
and recycling materials along with other methods of recycling used equip-
ment, you can make an important contribution to protecting the environ-
ment.
Please note
uNot all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all
countries.
uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not
possible to transmit emergency calls.
Environmental benefits of the Aton CL317
The Aton CL317 has a low level of energy consumption and reduces radia-
tion.
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 CL317 with its preset Eco Mode plus 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 CL317 during a call by reducing the range.

Second step: setting up the charger
The charger is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range
of +5°C to +45°C.
¤Set up the charger on a level, non-slip surface or mount the
charger on the wall ¢page 50.
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. How-
ever, due to the multitude of different varnishes and polishes used
on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces can-
not be completely ruled out.
Third step: connecting the charger
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base. This is up to 250 m in
unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 40 m inside buildings. The
range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (¢page 40).
Warning
uNever expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources,
direct sunlight or other electrical devices.
uProtect your Aton from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and
fumes.
¤Plug the power adapter into
the plug socket 2.
¤Connect the flat plug on the
power adapter 1.
To disconnect the plug from the charger,
press the release button 3and discon-
nect the plug 4.

Setting up the handset for use
The display is protected by a plastic film.
Please remove the protective film!
Inserting the battery and closing the battery cover
Warning
Use only rechargeable batteries (¢page 48) recommended, as
this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal
injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries could be
destroyed or 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.
¤First, align the protrusions
on the side of the battery
cover with the notches on
the inside of the casing.
¤Then press the cover until it
clicks into place.
To open the battery cover,
for instance to replace the
batteries, insert a coin into
the cavity on the side of the
casing, then pull the battery
cover at an angle in an
upward direction.
¤Insert the batteries with the
polarity in the correct direc-
tion.
The polarity is indicated in the
battery compartment.
