Safety Precautions - Siemens Gigaset E365 Manual

Safety precautions

Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use. Explain their contents to your children as
well as the potential hazards associated with using the telephone.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
$
station.
Only fit the recommended rechargeable batteries of the same type
(page 39)! In other words, do not use any other battery type or non-rechargea-
ble batteries as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
‹
Fit rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity and use them according to
this user guide (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compart-
Œ
ment, page 9).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, for example doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the reverse side of the handset to your ear if the handset is ringing
or if the handsfree function is switched on. Otherwise, you risk developing seri-
ous, permanent hearing damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and
base station are not splash proof (page 36).
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, for
example auto paint shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the
ƒ
user guide.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed 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 cov-
ered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliances will help pre-
vent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic
equipment.
For further detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please
contact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased
the product.

Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
