Safety precautions
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 pro-
vided on page 63, 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 62).
Version 4, 16.09.2005
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.
