Setting up the base station and charging cradle
The base station and charging cradle are designed for
use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature range
of +5
°C to +45 °C.
¤ Set up the base station at a central location on a
flat, non-slip surface in your house or apartment.
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base station.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas
and up to 50 m inside buildings.
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.
Please note:
◆ Never expose the telephone to heat sources,
direct sunlight or other electrical appliances.
◆ Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corro-
sive liquids and vapours.
Connecting the base station
¤ Connect the plug from the power supply 1.
