Setting up the base station and charging cradle (if included)
The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms
with a temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C.
¤ Set up the base station at a central location on a flat, non-slip surface in your
house or apartment.
Please note
P
ay attention to the range of the base station.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings.
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the
multitu
de of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the
occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
You can also mount the base station and charging cradle on the wall.
Please note:
◆ Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
◆ Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
