Safety precautions
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In case of
a power failure it is also not possible to make emergency calls.
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is
activated!
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specifica-
tion (see list of permitted batteries www.gigaset.com/service
Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other
battery types as this could result in significant health risks and
personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably
damaged, must be replaced.
The handset must not be operated if the battery cover is open.
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion
hazard (e.g. paint shops).
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them
in a damp environment such as bathrooms or shower rooms.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible.
Safety precautions
).
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our
Service team, as these could interfere with other wireless services.
Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass
or plastic can cause injury to hands and face. Send the device to our
Service department to be repaired.
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.
The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids
(humming or whistling) or cause them to overload. If you require
assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.

Safety precautions
Keep small cells and batteries, which can be swallowed, out of the
reach of children.
Swallowing a battery can lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue and
death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of swallowing.
In the case of a swallowed cell or battery, seek medical care immediately.
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 (for the specifications of your Gigaset
product see "Technical data").
