Safety precautions

Read the user guide and the safety precautions
W
carefully before use. Explain their contents to your
children, and the potential hazards associated
with using the telephone.
Only use the mains unit supplied.
$
Fit only the approved rechargeable battery
pack! Never use a conventional (non-recharge-
able) battery pack as this could damage your
health and cause injury. Use the battery pack as
directed in this user guide (page 3).
The operation of medical appliances may be
affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
within the particular environment (e.g. doctor's
practice).
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear
when it is ringing or when the handsfree func-
tion is activated. This can cause severe, perma-
nent hearing damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant hum-
ming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or
shower room. The handset and base station
are not splashproof.
Do not use the telephone in environments
subject to explosion hazard (e.g. auto paint
shops).
If you give your Gigaset to someone else,
ƒ
make sure you also give them the user guide.
All electrical and electronic equipment should
not be disposed of separately from general
household waste using the sites designated by
local authorities.
The appropriate disposal and separate collec-
tion of used equipment serve to prevent poten-
tial harm to the environment and to health.
They are a precondition for the re-use and recy-
cling of used electrical and electronic equip-
ment.
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.
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the key lock
