Safety precautions

Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to comply presents a risk of injury and damage to a device, as well as breaches of applicable laws.

Please explain the contents of this document as well as the potential risks associated with using this device to your children.

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 Ireland p. 80).

•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 circuitry 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 refrigerated 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. Potentially 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 modifying 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 instructions (Chapter Waste and environmental protection p. 83).

•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 eyesight. 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 ignitable products in the same drawer as this poses a risk of fire.

•Do not charge the battery for longer than 12 hours.

Safety precautions

•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 loud volume can be unpleasant and permanently impair hearing.

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 electricity 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 conditions 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.

•Heart pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators:

When you switch on your mobile phone, ensure 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.

Safety precautions

Aeroplanes, vehicles and road safety

•Switch off your mobile phone in aeroplanes

Please observe applicable restrictions and regulations.

Wireless devices can interfere with the function 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 not remove the card from the mobile phone whilst data is being sent or received as this presents a risk 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 interfere with other wireless services.

•Careless handling of the mobile phone, such as dropping it, can shatter the display and damage the electronic 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 device can heat up when running power-intensive apps or programs for longer periods. This is normal 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 parts of the mobile phone and may cause malfunction.

Google Go

The Gigaset GS110 uses Android variant Go. Android Go was developed for smartphones with simple hardware configurations (low memory and processor performance), but offers users the full functionality of a current smartphone.

For smartphones with Android Go, there are standard Google apps as Go versions. These Google apps have been adapted such that they need little memory and require little mobile data.

The Google apps in question have “Go” after their name, such as

Google Assistant Go	Enables simple communication with voice, with which you can
	have tasks performed with web searches or with local apps. Not
	possible in the Go version: Connection to external apps, control of
	smart home devices, entry of commands from the keyboard.
	Only an English version is available currently.
Google Go	The app bundles multiple Google functions, that are run with a
	reduced data volume ( p. 27). The most important is the Search
	function
Gmail Go	Receive, write and send emails like with Gmail. As a Go version
	with little memory requirement and even lower data usage.
Google Maps Go	Look for and find out about places in all corners of the globe.
	Some functions are not available in the Go version, such as Down-
	load offline map, measure distances between points, ...

Apps for Android Go can also be installed on the Play Store.

Reduce data volumes when transferring from the web

¤Open Google Go Tap . . . The Settings menu is opened Use the switch to enable

Use Lite mode . . . Your surf and search queries are routed via a Google proxy. Websites visited are compressed, and so data volumes reduced.

Data save mode is enabled permanently in Google Chrome.

Protection from harmful apps

Downloading apps from sources other than Google Play

If you want to download apps from sources other than Google Play, you must permit it explicitly. You can find this function in the settings for the app that allows the download, e. g. browser or mail program.

¤ Settings Apps & notifications Display all apps Select the app that you wish to use to load apps from other sources Advanced Install unknown apps Enable the Allow from this source switch.

If you intend to use apps that Google classifies as insecure, you must permit the use of such apps explicitly. Find out about the associated security risks from Google beforehand.

Apps from unknown sources can represent a security risk for your smartphone.

A download can corrupt your smartphone, and personal details can be misused or go missing.

Enabling Verify apps

When the function is enabled, your device verifies apps when being installed, and regularly searches the device for potentially harmful apps.

¤ Settings Google Security Google Play Project Enable the Scan device for security threats switch

The following actions are possible when you install an app which is not from Google Play:

•Recommendation not to install the app.

•Installation of the app is blocked when there is a threat to the security of the device.

•Information on the app’s identification is sent to Google, such as protocol information, URLs connected to the app, the device ID, its operating system version and the IP address.

Apps installed on the device are checked regularly. If a potential harmful app is detected, the app check can take the following actions:

•Recommend that you uninstall the app immediately.

•Remove an app which is known to be insecure.

Improving the detection of harmful apps

The Scan device for security threats function is enabled.

If the function is enabled, Google also receives anonymous information on all apps installed which are not from the Google Play Store. This helps Google to provide better protection for users against harmful apps.
