Safety precautions

Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully before use. Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.

Only use the mains unit supplied.

Fit only the recommended, rechargeable batteries

(¢ page 13), i.e. never use a conven-

tional (non-rechargeable) battery or other batter y types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. 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. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing. The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the phone in a bathroom or shower room. The handset and base station are not splashproof.

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 our service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

Disposal

Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the local waste dis posal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your local authority. All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from general household waste using the sites designated by local authori ties. If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is subject to European Directive 2002/96/EC. The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to prevent potential harm to the environment and to healt h. They are a precondition for the re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment. For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact your local authority or your refuse collection service.

Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock (

¢ page 1) is activated!

Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

Care

Wipe down the base station and handset with a damp cloth (no solvents) or an antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset should come into contact with liquid:

◆ Switch the handset off and remove the batteries

immediately.

◆ Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.

◆ Pat all parts dry, then with the battery compart-

ment open and the keypad facing down place the handset in a dry, warm place for at least 72 (not in a microwave, oven etc.).

◆ Do not switch on the handset again until it is

completely dry.

When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able to use it again.

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:

trical devices.

◆ Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

Connecting the base station

insert the cables into the cable ducts.

Please note:

◆ The mains adapter must always be con-

nected, as the phone will not operate

Warn ing

Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH (¢ page 13).
