Safety precautions

Warning

Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your

children.

Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.

Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on
page 84, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the tech­nical conditions in your particular environment e.g., doctor's surgery.
If you use a medical device (e.g. a pacemaker), please contact the device manufac­turer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to
external sources of high-frequency energy. Please refer to the “Appendix” chapter
for the specifications of this Gigaset product.

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when handsfree
mode is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hear­ing.

Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market.
However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids
or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid
supplier.

Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and
charger are not splashproof (

¢ page 84).

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g., paint shops).

If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.

Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service department, as
they could interfere with other wireless services.

Please note

u Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
u The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to trans-

mit emergency calls.

Pay attention to the range of the base.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside build­ings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (

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.

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 fumes.
