Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Only use the mains adapters supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Safety precautions
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (
erwise 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 surgery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker
mode is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market.
However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids
or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid
supplier.
Do not install the base or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base
is 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 bases from use or have them repaired by our Service department, as they could interfere with other wireless services.
The base and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature
range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤ Install the base on a level, non-slip surface in a central location in your house or flat.
Please note
Make sure you observe the range of the base for the handset connection.
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.
¤ The display is protected by a plastic film. Please remove the protective film!
Please note:
u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electri-
cal devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
First steps
Connecting the base
¤ Connect the receiver to the telephone
using the coiled cable supplied 1.
¤ Connect the telephone jack 2.
¤ Then connect the mains adapter 3.
¤ Insert the cable of the mains adapter into
the cable ducts 4.
Please note:
u The mains adapter must always be con-
nected, as the phone will not operate
without a mains connection.
¤ Only use the mains adapter and phone
cord supplied. Pin connections on telephone cables can vary (pin connections
The display is protected by a plastic film. Please remove the protective film!
Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Warning
Only use the rechargeable batteries (¢page 51) recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH, i.e. never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries, as this could result in
significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries
could be damaged 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.
¤ Insert the batteries the right way round.
The polarity is indicated in/on the battery
compartment.
First steps
To reopen the battery cover to replace the
battery:
¤ Insert your fingernail into the notch on the
top of the cover and push downwards.
¤ First insert the battery cover from above.
¤ Then press the cover until it clicks into
from the charging cradle
and do not replace it until
the batteries are fully discharged.

First steps
Placing the handset in the charging cradle
¤ Place the handset in the charging cradle with its display facing forward.
The supplied handset is registered with the base at the factory. You do not need to register it. If
you wish to use your handset with a different base or use further handsets with your base, you
will have to register them manually,
To charge the batteries, leave the handset in the charging cradle.
Please note
Only place the handset in the charging cradle that is intended for it.
Initial charging and discharging of the batteries
The correct charge level can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully charged and discharged.
¢ page 29.
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Please note
u After the first battery charge and discharge you may replace your handset in the charg-
ing cradle after every call.
u Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the batteries from
the handset and re-insert them.
u The batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.
u After a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.
Setting the date and time
Set the date and time so that the correct date and time can be assigned to incoming calls, and
so that the alarm can be used. You can set the date and time on the base (

use solvent or a microfiber cloth) or an
antistatic cloth.
¤ Impairments in the high-gloss finish can
be carefully removed using display polishes for mobile phones.
Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Contact with liquid
If the base/handset comes into contact with
liquid:
1. Unplug the power supply (base).
2. Switch off the handset and remove the
battery pack immediately.
3. Allow the liquid to drain from the device.
4. Pat all parts dry.
Place the base (the keypad facing down)
and the handset with the battery compartment open and the keypad facing

5. Do not switch on the device again until
it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally
be able to use it again.
In rare cases, contact with chemical substances can cause changes to the telephone's exterior. Due to the wide variety of
chemical products available on the market,
it was not possible to test all substances.
