Safety precautions

Warning

Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone.

Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.

Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.

Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on page 62, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury. Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base while the headset is connected.

Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment, e.g., doctor's surgery.

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is activated. You risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.

Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market. However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids or cause them to overload. For assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.

Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and charger are not splashproof (

¢ page 61).

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).

If you give your phone to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.

Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service department, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

Please note

Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.

Please note:

u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or

other electrical devices.

u Protect your telephone from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.

¢ page 44) is activated.

Connecting the base

¤ First connect the

Caring for your telephone

¤ Wipe the device with a damp cloth or an

antistatic cloth. Do not use solvent or a

microfiber cloth.

¤ Impairments in the high-gloss finish can

be carefully removed using display polishes for mobile phones.

Never use a dry cloth as this can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the device comes into contact with liquid:

1. Unplug the power supply and/or re-

move the battery from the handset immediately.

2. Allow the liquid to drain from the device.

3. Pat all parts dry. Place the device (handset with the battery compartment open and the keypad facing down) in a dry, warm place for at least 72 hours (not in a microwave, oven etc.).

4. Do not switch on the device again until

it is completely dry.

When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able to use it again.

This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network, protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction. Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas

NOTE: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate. This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.

FCC / ACTA Information

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit

not expressly approved by Gigaset Communications USA LLC could void the FCC authority to operate the equipment. This includes the addition of any external antenna device. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of the base station is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.

See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be cer tain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.

If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. This equipment is of a type that is not intended to be repaired by the Customer (user).

This telephone system may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment.

This telephone system equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby T V’s and VCR’s; to minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the base farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the base station and receiver.

3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
