Safety precautions

Warning

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use. Explain their content and the potential hazards assoc iated wi th us ing t he dev ice t o your chil dren.

Use only the charger cradle indicated on the device.

Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Technical Data"). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.

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 (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Technical Data").

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker 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 phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.

The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such as bathrooms or shower rooms.

Do not use the devices 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 devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could interfere with other wireless services.

Please note

u The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to trans-

mit emergency calls.

u Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock is activated!

Checking the package contents

u One Gigaset S820 base u One charger cradle for the base u One phone cord u One Gigaset handset u One battery cover (rear cover for the handset) u Two batteries u One belt clip u One rubber seal for the USB connection u One poster, one user guide and one CD

If you have purchased a model with multiple handsets, the package should contain two batteries, a battery cover, a belt clip and a charger with a charger cradle for each additional handset.

Setting up the base and charger (if included)

The base and charging cradle are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.

¤ Set up the base on a level, non-slip surface at a central point in the building or mount the

base on the wall

Please note

Pay attention to the range of the base. In buildings this is up to 50 m, outdoors up to 300 m. The range is reduced when ECO DECT is activated.

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 effects of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical

devices

u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes
