First steps

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 and charging cradles at a central location on a flat, non-
slip surface in your house or apartment.
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 phone's 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.
Instructions on how to mount the base station and charging cradle to a wall, see
¢ page 49.
Please note:
u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

You can specify a preselection number that is automatically placed in front of numbers when you dial them.
u The "with preselection" list contains the
"rule" for dialling code numbers or the first digits of dialling code numbers with which you wish the preselection number to be used.
u The "without preselection" list contains
the "exception to the rule". Example: You have entered 08 for "with preselec-
tion". Now all numbers that start with 08 will be dialled with preselection. If, for example, you want 081 to still be dialled without preselection, enter 081 for "without preselection".
When dialling, the first digits of the selected numbers are compared with both lists after the talk/handsfree key is pressed:
u The preselection number is not prefixed if
the dialled number – does not match any entries in the two
lists
– matches an entry in the "without

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.
All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from general household waste using the sites designated by local authorities.
If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is subject to European Direc­tive 2002/96/EC.
The appropriate disposal
and separate collection of used equipment serve to prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a requirement 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 or your refuse collection service .

Care

¤ Wipe the base station, charging cradle
and the 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 should come into contact with liquid:
1. Turn the handset off and remove the batteries immediately.
2. Allow the liquid to drain from the hand­set.
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.
