Safety precautions
Read this manual and the safety precautions carefully before use. Explain their contents to your
W
children, and the potential hazards associated
with using the telephone.
Only use the mains unit supplied.
$
Fit only the approved rechargeable battery
pack! Never use a conventional (non-recharge-
able) battery pack as this could damage your
health and cause injury. Use the battery pack as
directed in this manual (page 7).
The operation of medical appliances may be
affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
within the particular environment (e.g. doctor's
practice).
The handset may cause an intrusive 'hum' in
hearing aids. Do not hold the handset against
your ear while it is ringing (incoming call).
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or
shower room as the handset and base are not
splash-proof. (page 7)
Do not use the telephone in environments
subject to explosion hazard (e.g. auto paint
shops).
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make
sure you also give them the operating manual.
ƒ
All electrical and electronic products should be
disposed of separately from the municipal
waste stream via designated collection facilities
appointed by the government or the local
authorities. This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered
by the European Directive 2002/96/EC. The correct disposal and separate collection of your old
appliance will help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human
health. It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment. For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your
city office, waste disposal service or the shop
where you purchased the product.

◆ Use only the mains unit supplied (see the bot-
tom of the base).

store, ensure that the phone conductors are correctly connected: 3-4 connection of the telephone

◆ Insert the battery (see diagram below).
◆ Place the battery leads in the cable guides.
Closing the battery cover
end and slide the cover down.
◆ Place the battery leads in the cable
guides so that the battery cover cannot
catch on the leads and damage them
when it is closed.
◆ Only insert the recommended re-
chargeable battery pack, i.e. never use a
W
normal battery pack as this could damage
your health and cause injury.
◆ Never use non-Siemens battery charg-
ers as this could damage the battery pack.
◆ Only place the handset in the base/
charging cradle that is intended for it.
Step 3: Registering the handset to the base and charging the battery pack
Place your handset in the base with the display
facing forwards. The handset will now register
automatically to the base. For procedure see
page 5.
Charging the battery pack
To charge the battery pack, leave the handset in
the base for approx. ten hours. The battery pack is
now fully charged. The charge status of the batter y
pack is correctly displayed only after uninterrupted
charging/discharging. Therefore you should not
interrupt the charging process.
Charging is electronically controlled to prevent
overcharging. The battery pack heats up during
charging; this is normal and not dangerous. After
a time the charge capacity of the pack will
decrease for technical reasons.
You must set the date and time to ensure that the
times of calls are logged correctly (page 10). Your
telephone is now ready to use.
