Safety precautions
General safety precautions
u Only give the Gigaset M34 USB to third parties with the installation instructions and
CD-ROM.
u All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from
the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by
the government or the local authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered
by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent
potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a pre-
condition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact
your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the prod-
uct.
u Not all of the functions described in this manual are available in all countries.
Installation information
u In the Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems, you must be logged in as
a user with administration rights. Contact your system administrator for details if
necessary.
u Before installing the Gigaset M34 software, read the information under "System
requirements" on page 7 to avoid loss of data.
u During installation, you are prompted to connect the Gigaset M34 USB to a free
USB port on your PC. This starts the Windows operating system's automatic hard-
ware recognition routine and installs the device drivers.
Safety precautions for the Gigaset M34 USB PC adapter
u The operation of medical appliances may be affected.
u Do not operate the Gigaset M34 USB in bathrooms or shower areas. The
Gigaset M34 USB PC adapter is not splash proof.
u Avoid the immediate proximity of heat sources such as radiators and do not expose
the Gigaset M34 USB to direct sunlight.
u Only use the USB extension cable supplied.
u Do not connect or disconnect the Gigaset M34 during a storm. This brings a risk of
electric shock.
u If the Gigaset M34 USB comes into contact with liquid, do not use it.
– Allow the liquid to drain out of the device, and then pat all parts of the device dry.
– Store the Gigaset M34 USB in a warm, dry place for at least 72 hours. In many
cases, you will then be able to use it again.

For your safety
The radio transmission between the base station and the portable parts is to DECT
standard. The Gigaset M34 USB PC adapter meets the appropriate European specifications. Should there nevertheless be any picture and sound interference with satellite
receivers, please consult your retailer to have your satellite receiver equipment tested
for poor shielding.
Safety precautions for data transfer and software problems
When using Gigaset base stations to transfer data (e.g. surfing), software problems on
the PC (e.g. operating system crash, program bugs) may in rare cases make it impossible
to terminate the data connection for the Gigaset M34 software using the Gigaset base
station.
u Check whether your base station shows that the connection has been terminated
(see the base station's operating instructions). Otherwise, the connection will con-
tinue to incur charges.
u Reboot your PC.
u Remove the ISDN cable from the Gigaset base station for at least 20 seconds.
This will definitely close down the connection.
If you have an ISDN base station:
Protection against diallers, DSL connection
The installation of the Gigaset M34 software includes installation of ISDN drivers, which
your PC can use to make dial-up connections (e.g. for making calls, faxing or surfing).
These ISDN connections can run in parallel to a DSL connection.
u Note that so-called diallers can use an available ISDN connection unnoticed, if you
are using exclusively your DSL connection for your Internet activities.
u Install a dialler blocker to protect your PC against unwanted dial-up connections.
