Fit only the recommended, rechargeable batter-
ies (page 9), i.e. never use any other battery
type or any non-rechargeable batteries as they
could damage your health and cause injury.
The operation of medical appliances may be
affected. Be aware of the technical conditions in
your particular environment (e. g. doctor's
practice).
The handset may cause an intrusive 'hum' in
hearing aids. Do not hold the handset against
your ear while it is ringing (incoming call).
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or
shower room. The handset and base station are
not splashproof (page 9).
Do not use your phone in environments subject
to explosion hazard (e.g. auto paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make
ƒ
sure you also give them the operating instruc-
tions.

Step 2: Setting up the handset
Inserting the batteries
Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recom-
mended by Siemens (page 9). I.e. on no
account may conventional (non-rechargeable)
batteries or other battery types be used, other-
wise serious damage to health and property
cannot be ruled out, e.g. the outer casing of
the batteries could be destroyed or the batter-
ies could explode. The phone could also mal-
function or be damaged as a result of using
batteries that are not of the recommended
type.
◆
Fit the batteries with the correct polarity (see
diagram).
