Safety precautions

Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to comply presents a risk of injury and damage to

vice, as well as breaches of applicable laws.

a de Please explain the contents of this document as well as the potential risks associated with using

is device to your children.

General information

Dispose of used mobile telephones in line with the instructions (Chapter Waste and environmen-

protection p. 77).

tal

• 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

• 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 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.

• If the mobile telephone becomes hot, changes colour or shape or leaks whilst being used, charged or at

any other time, contact Gigaset Customer Service immediately.

Battery and charging

• The battery is built-in. Do not disassemble, weld and/or modify the battery. Do not keep the mobile tele-

phone where it is exposed to strong mechanical effects.

• The battery electrolyte coming into contact with eyes can cause a loss of eyesight. If elec trolyte 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.

• The temperature of the mobile phone rises during the charging process. Do not store the mobile tele-

phone in the same place as flammable products as this poses a risk of fire.

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

• 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 because this poses a risk of electric shock and

fire.

p. 76).

Safety precautions

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 electricit y 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 mobile phone 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:

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, 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.

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.

Safety precautions

SIM card, memory card and data connector cable

• Do no t remov e the c ard fro m the m obile p hone w hilst data is being sent o r recei ved as t his pr esents 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 carefully 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 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, batter y 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.

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.
