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 to your children the contents of this document as well as the potential
risks associated with using this device.
Only use chargers approved and certified by Gigaset.
Using incompatible chargers can damage the mobile phone and entail hazardous situations.
This product is fitted with batteries and must not be disposed of in normal household
waste at the end of its life.
The symbol with the crossed-out waste bin indicates that the product must be disposed of at a suitable collection point for recycled electric and electronic 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 the product. You will be provided information on the sensitivity of the device to external, high-frequency energy sources.
This device is not waterproof. Do not keep the device or its accessories in moist environments (in bathrooms and shower rooms for example).
Rain, moisture, liquids and water potentially contain minerals which can cause the
electrical circuitry to corrode.
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. This pertains to petrol stations and chemical factories for example.
These areas include spaces under ship decks, transportation and storage systems for
hazardous chemicals, areas in which the air contains chemical substances or fine particles (such as dust or metal powder particles).
Dispose of faulty devices or have them repaired by our Customer service team. These
devices could interfere with other wireless services.
Do not use the device if the display is cracked or shattered. Fragments of glass and
plastic can injure hands and face.
Send the device in to Customer service for repair.

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.
Hospitals and medical equipment
• 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.

Use a qualified maintenance service
The installation and repair of products are the sole preserves of qualified maintenance personnel.
Battery
Not replacing the battery properly can cause a risk of explosion.
Dispose of used batteries in line with the instructions.
• 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 pierce the battery with sharp objects – the battery fluid can escape and the battery
can overheat, explode or catch fire. Crushing, heating and burning batteries are strictly prohibited.
• Do not use any sharp objects (such as screwdrivers) to touch and pierce the battery. All of the
actions mentioned present a risk of the battery catching fire and burning.
• The battery electrolyte coming into contact with eyes can cause a loss of eyesight. If electro-
lyte 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 is not waterproof. Never use or charge the battery in a kitchen, bathroom or
places with high temperatures or high humidity levels.
• 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.
• The USB connection must be established with USB version 2.0 or higher.
• Caution: Dispose of used batteries in line with the instructions (Section Waste and environ-
mental protection
¢ p. 83).
Charger
• Only use the charger indoors.
• The socket must be easily accessible during the charging process.
• Whilst the phone is charging, do not use the phone for calls or dial any numbers.
• Electrical storms pose a risk of electric shocks.
• 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 charger is not waterproof. Never use the charger in a kitchen, bathroom or places with
high temperatures or high humidity levels as this poses a risk of electric shock, fire and damage to the charger.
• Never charge a mobile phone without the battery inserted.
• 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.
8
• Only charge the device when the ambient temperature is between 0°C and 40° C.
SIM card, memory card and data connector cable
• Use the right slot/interface when inserting and removing the 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.
• Do not exert any force when inserting the SIM or memory card and when connecting the
data cable - because doing so might damage the phone and other parts.
• Charges might apply when establishing Internet connections via the SIM card.
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
ay.
pl
Consult a doctor straight away if your condition persists.
More important information on safety
• For your own safety, only use original, approved accessories from Gigaset for your mobile
phone. Original accessories can be purchased from Gigaset Customer service (see Customer
¢ p. 82).
service
• Do not charge the battery for longer than 12 hours.
• In the event of malfunction of your mobile phone, battery or accessories, please contact a
Gigaset Service Centre for an inspection.
• 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.
Important information on using and safekeeping
• 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.
• The mobile phone must not be used or kept in excessively hot places. High temperatures can
shorten the life of electronic devices and damage the battery, and some plastic parts can
deform or melt.
• The mobile phone must not be used or kept in refrigerated areas. Because the mobile phone
stabilises to the ambient temperature, condensation can form inside the phone, damaging
beyond repair the electronic circuitry. Mobile charging temperature:
0-40°C, mobile use (discharge) temperature: 0-40°C.
• Ensure your mobile phone is not dropped or shaken, or exposed to any impact. Treating the
mobile phone without due care can shatter the display and damage the electronic circuitry
and sensitive parts inside.
• Do not apply lacquer to the mobile phone. Lacquer and paint can damage the parts of the
mobile phone and may cause malfunction.
