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.
