Safety precautions
Warning:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
$
station or charging cradle.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 156), i.e. never
use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this
could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the
local waste disposal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your
local authority or the dealer you purchased the product from.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when the
handsfree function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent dam-
age to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
The handset, base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 146).
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard,
e.g. paint shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user
ƒ
guide.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by Siemens
Service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.
All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from gen-
eral household waste using the sites designated by local authorities.
If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is sub-
ject 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 require-
ment 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.
