Safety precautions
Read this user guide and the safety precautions
carefully before use. Explain their contents and
the potential hazards associated with using the
telephone to your children.
Only use the mains unit supplied.
$
Fit only the recommended, rechargeable batteries (
use a conventional (non-rechargeable)
battery or other battery types as this
could result in significant health risks
and personal injury.
The operation of medical appliances
may be affected. 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. Otherwise
you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant
humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom
or shower room. The handset and base
station are not splashproof.
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, e.g. paint shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone
else, make sure you also give them the

Disposal
Batteries should not be disposed of in
general household waste. Observe the
local waste disposal regulations,
details of which can be obtained from
your local authority or the dealer you
purchased the product from.
All electrical and electronic equip ment
must be disposed of separately from
general household waste using the
sites designated by local authorities.
The appropriate disposal and separate
collection of used equipment serve to
prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondition for the re-use and recycling of
used electrical and electronic equipment.
For further information on disposing of
your used equipment, please contact
your local authority, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased the product from.
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the
keypad lock (
Not all of the functions described in this user
guide are available in all countries.

Care
Wipe the base station, charging cradle and
handset with a damp cloth (do not use solvent) or an antistatic cloth.
Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Contact with liquid
If the handset has come into contact with
liquid:
1 Switch off the handset and remove the
battery pack immediately.
2 Allow the liquid to drain from the hand-
set.
3 Pat all parts dry, then place the 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 handset again
until it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able to use it again.

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 fumes.
