Safety precautions

Safety precautions

Warning

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.

Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.

$	Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the charger.
	Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢page 29), i.e. never 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 con-
	ditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
	Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when
	the handsfree function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent dam-
	age to your hearing.
	The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
	Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charging cra-
	dle is not splashproof (¢page 29).
	Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint
	shops).

ƒIf you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user guide.

Setting up the charging cradle

The charging cradle is designed to be operated in enclosed, dry areas at tempera-

¤Set up the charging cradles at a central location on a flat, non-slip surface in your house or apartment.tures ranging from +5 °C to +45 °C.

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.
