First steps
Checking the package contents
u One Gigaset A400/A400A base
u One power adapter
u One Gigaset handset
u One phone cord
u Two batteries
u One battery cover
u One user guide
If you have purchased a model with
multiple handsets, the package should contain two bat-
teries, a battery cover and a charging cradle with pow
er adapter for each additional handset.
Setting up the base and charger (if included)
The base and charging cradle are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C
to +45°C.
¤ S
et up the base at a central point in the building on a flat, non-slip surface.
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of
diff
erent varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the
surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
You can also mount the base and charging cradl
e on the wall (see packaging).
Please note:
u Never expose the telephone to the influence of hea
t sources, direct sunlight or other elec-
trical devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
Connecting the base
¤ First, connect the telephone jack 2 and insert
the cables into the cable ducts.
¤ Then connect the power adapter 1.
Please note:
u The power adapter must alwa
ys be connected,
as the phone will not operate without a mains
connection.
u Use only the power adapter and phone cord
supp
lied. Pin connections on telephone cables
can vary.
u The answering machine is ready for use
ap
prox. 15 seconds after the base has been
connected or reset.
Please note
P
ay attention to the range of the base.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings. The
range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (¢ page 20).
