Safety precautions
Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to comply presents a risk of injury and damage to
a de
vice, as well as breaches of applicable laws.
Please explain the contents of this document as well as the potential risks associated with using
is device to your children.
th
General information
• For your own safety, only use original, approved accessories from Gigaset for your mobile phone. Using
incompatible accessories can damage the mobile phone and entail hazardous situations. Original accessories can be purchased from Gigaset Customer Service (see Customer service United Kingdom and
p. 80).
Ireland
• The mobile phone is not waterproof. The device or its accessories must therefore not be kept or charged
in damp environments (in bathrooms, shower rooms or kitchens, for example). Rain, moisture or any liquid
can contain minerals which can cause the electrical circuitr y to corrode. There is a risk of electric shock, fire
or damage when the device is being charged.
• Permitted temperature range for charging and operation: 0-40°C.
High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and damage the battery; plastic parts can
deform or melt. Using or keeping the mobile phone in refrige rated areas can result in condensation on the
inside of the telephone which will destroy the electronic circuitry.
• The mobile phone must not be used or kept in dusty or dirty places. Dust can be a reason for the mobile
phone to malfunction.
• Switch off your mobile phone when in potentially explosive areas and observe all warning signs. Poten-
tially explosive areas also include places where switching off vehicle engines is normally recommended. It
is at these kinds of places that flying sparks can be the cause of explosions or fires with resulting injuries,
and there may be a risk to life.
These areas include petrol stations, chemical factories, transport and storage systems for hazardous chemicals, spaces under ship decks, areas in which the air contains chemical substances or fine particles (such
as dust or metal powder particles).
• Short-circuiting, disassembling and modifyi ng the mobile phone are not permitted because they present
a risk of injury, electric shock, fire or damage to the charger.
• The USB connection must be established with USB version 2.0 or higher.
Battery and charging
Only use batteries approved and certified by Gigaset. Original accessories are available from
Customer Service at Gigaset.
Not replacing the battery properly can pose a risk of explosion.
Dispose of used batteries in line with the i nstructions (Chapter Waste and environmental protection
p. 84).
• Never burn or heat batteries, and do not dispose of them in environments which are at risk of heat or fire
to prevent battery fluid escaping, overheating, explosion and fire. Do not disassemble, weld and/or modify
the battery. Do not keep the battery where it is exposed to strong mechanical effects.
• Do not use any sharp objects (such as screwdrivers) to touch or pierce the battery. There is a risk that
battery fluid will escape or the battery will overheat, explode or catch fire and burn. Crushing, heating and
burning batteries are strictly prohibited.
• The battery electrolyte coming into contact with eyes can cause a loss of eyes ight. If electrolyte does enter
an eye, please do not rub the eye with a hand. Immediately wash the affected eye thoroughly with clear
water and consult a doctor. The electrolyte coming into contact with skin (or clothing) presents a risk of
skin burns. Immediately wash the skin or clothing thoroughly with soap and clear water, and consult a
doctor if required.
• Never use batteries for purposes other than those specified. Never use a damaged battery. If the battery
becomes hot, discolours, deforms or becomes leaky whilst being used, charged or kept in a safe place, it
must be replaced immediately by a new battery for safety reasons.
• The battery temperature rises during the charging process. Do not keep the battery together with ignit-
able products in the same drawer as this poses a risk of fire.
• Do not charge the battery for longer than 12 hours.
6
• Only charge the device indoors. Whilst the phone is charging, do not use the phone for calls or dial any
numbers.
• The socket must be easily accessible during the charging process.
• Electrical storms pose a risk of electric shocks.
• Do not use the charger when the power cable is damaged or no battery is inserted in the mobile phone
because this poses a risk of electric shock and fire.
Headset
High volumes can impair hearing. Listening to music or conversation with headphones set to a
olume can be unpleasant and permanently impair hearing.
loud v
To prevent loss of hearing, do not have the volume turned up too high for long periods.
• If you wear headphones whilst out walking or running, please ensure that the cord does not wrap itself
around your body or objects on your person.
• Only wear headphones in dry environments. The static ele ctricity which builds up on the headphones can
discharge via your ears as an electric shock. The static electricity can discharge if you touch the headphones with your hand or touch bare metal before connecting with the mobile phone.
Use in hospitals / medical devices
• The function of medical equipment near your product can be impaired. Bear in mind the technical condi-
tions of the environment in question (such as in doctors’ surgery).
• If you use a medical device such as a pacemaker, please consult the manufacturer of the product before
using your mobile phone. You will be provided information on the sensitivity of the device to external,
high-frequency energy sources.
Whe n you swit ch on your m obil e pho ne, en sure that the distance between the phone and an implant is at
least 152 mm. To reduce potential interference, use the mobile phone on the opposite side to the implant.
Please switch the mobile phone off immediately if interference occurs. Do not keep the mobile phone in
a shirt pocket.
• Hearing aids, cochlear implants:
Some digital wireless devices can interfere with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Please consult the
manufacturers of these products if interference occurs.
• Other medical devices:
If you and the people around you use other medical devices, please contact the relevant manufacturer for
information on whether such devices are protected from radio frequency signals in the environment. You
can also consult your doctor about this.
Emergency calls
• Make sure the mobile phone is switched on and connected to the GSM network. Enter the emergency
number as required and speak.
• Tell the person at the emergency call centre your location.
• Do not end the conversation until the person at the emergency call centre asks you to.
Children and pets
• Keep the mobile phone, batteries, chargers and accessories out of the reach of children and pets. Children
and/or pets can swallow the small parts, posing a risk of suffocation and other hazards. A child may only
use the mobile phone under the supervision of an adult.
Playing games
• Playing games on the mobile phone for long periods may mean assuming an unhealthy body posture.
Take a 15 minute break every hour. Stop immediately if you feel unwell during game play. Consult a doctor
straight away if your condition persists.
7
Aeroplanes, vehicles and road safety
• Switch off your mobile phone in aeroplanes
Please observe applicable restrictions and regulations.
Wireless devices can interfere with the functio n of aeronautical equipment. Follow the instructions issued
by flight personnel when using your mobile phone.
• The absolute priority for every vehicle driver and everyone in a vehicle is safety on the roads and for road
users.
Using a mobile phone whilst driving can be distracting and therefore lead to dangerous situations. You
can also be violating applicable laws.
SIM card, memory card and data connector cable
• Do n ot remo ve the card fr om the mobile phone whils t data i s bein g sent or rece ived as this p resent s a ris k
of data loss and damage to the mobile phone or memory card.
• Charges might apply when establishing Internet connections via the SIM card.
Defective devices
• The installation and repair of products are the sole preserves of qualified maintenance personnel.
• Dispose of faulty devices or have them repaired by our Customer Service team. These devices could inter-
fere with other wireless services.
• Careless handling of the mobile phone, such as dropping it, can shatter the display and damage the elec-
tronic circuitry and sensitive parts inside.
• Do not use the device if the display is cracked or shattered. Fragments of glass or plastic can injure hands
and face.
• In the event of malfunction of your mobile phone, battery or accessories, please contact a Gigaset Service
Centre for an inspection.
Other important information
• Never point the flash light directly at the eyes of people or animals. Pointing a flash light too near to human
eyes poses a risk of temporary loss of eyesight or impairment of vision.
• The dev ice can heat up w hen run ning pow er-i nte nsi ve ap ps o r pr ogra ms f or lo nge r pe rio ds. T his is n orm al
and has no bearing on the performance of the device.
• When the device warms up, please put it aside for a while and stop the program you were running. Coming
into contact with a hot device can cause minor skin irritations such as redness.
• Do not apply lacquer to the mobile phone. Lacquer and paint can damage the par ts of the mobile phone
and may cause malfunction.

on initial use.
Information on app permissions in the Google Play Store:
• On the “Permissions” screen for an app in the Play Store, you can check which permissions
the app requires and then decide whether you want to install it. Scroll down to the very end
of the app description.
• For many apps, all permissions are displayed in Google Play before installation. You can use
this information to decide whether you want to install the apps.
• Some apps are installed without any prompts about permissions. You are then able to grant
or deny individual permissions when using the apps for the first time.
• Permissions might be changed when apps are updated automatically. When using for the
first time a function which requests a new permission, you might have to grant or deny
access to this data or function.
