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 power 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. 
¤ Set 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 
different 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 cradle on the wall (see packaging).
Please note: 
u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat 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 always be connected
as the phone will not operate without a mains 
connection.
u Use only the power adapter and phone cord 
supplied. Pin connections on telephone cables 
can vary.
u The answering machine is ready for use 
approx. 15 seconds after the base has been 
connected or reset.
Please note
Pay 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 (
