Safety precautions

Safety precautions

Warning

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.

Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.

$ Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.

Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢page 76) as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment e.g., doctor's surgery.

If you use a medical device (e.g. a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high-frequency energy. Please refer to the “Appendix” chapter for the specifications of this Gigaset product.

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when handfree 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 and charging cradle are not splashproof (¢page 76).

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint shops).

ƒIf 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.

Please note

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

uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit emergency calls.

Gigaset C610/C610A – more than just a telephone

Gigaset C610/C610A – more than just a telephone

Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home.

The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very simple to use.

It can do a whole lot more:

uStore anniversaries such as birthdays in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.

uAllocate important people to one of six VIP groups so you can identify important calls from the ringtone and the colour of the allocated VIP group.

uIf you only want to accept calls when you can see the number, you can set your phone to only ring when the phone number is transferred.

uYou can assign important numbers to the number keys on your handset. The number is then dialled by simply pressing the key.

uSet the display to show in large print to increase readability during certain important situations (e.g. in the directory and in lists).

u Set the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only the most

•
important functions (standard mode) or all functions are displayed
(expert mode	•
	). Menu options that are only available in expert mode are
marked with the		icon.

uGigaset Green Home – be environmentally aware when using your phone. For more information, see www.gigaset.com/service.
