All electrical and electronic equipment 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.

Check the pack contents
One Gigaset A49H handset,
one charging cradle with power adapter,
two batteries,
one battery cover,
one user guide.
Setting up the charging cradle
The charging cradle is designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C.
¤ Set up the charging cradle on a flat, non-slip surface.
Please note
Pay 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 feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
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.

¤ Connect the plug from the power adapter.
