shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user
guide.
Please remove faulty base stations f rom u se or have them repa ired by our Service, as
they could interfere with other wireless services.
¢ S. 28).
3
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 precondition 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, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased the product from.
