Safety Precautions; First Steps - Gigaset A120 User Manual

Safety precautions

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In case of a power failure it is also not possible to
make emergency calls.
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is activated!
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint shops).
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such as bathrooms
or shower rooms.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Specifications"). Never use a
conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks
and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could interfere with other
wireless services.
Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause injury to hands and
face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is activated. Otherwise
you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause them to overload.
If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions in your
particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery. If you use a medical device (e.g. a pacemaker), please contact the
device manufacturer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external
sources of high frequency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Specifications").

First steps

Check the pack contents
One Gigaset A120/A120A/A220/A220A base station, one mains adapter, one Gigaset handset, one phone cord, two bat-
teries, one battery cover, one user guide.
If you have purchased a model with multiple handsets, the package should contain two batteries, a battery cover and
a charging cradle with mains adapter for each additional handset.
Setting up the base station and charging cradle (if included)
◆
Set up the base station at a central location on a flat, non-slip surface in your house or apartment. You can also
mount the base station and charging cradle on the wall.
◆
Pay attention to the range of the base station. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m
inside buildings.
◆
The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms in a temperature range of +5 °C to
+45 °C.
◆
Care: Wipe down the base station and handset with a damp cloth (no solvents) or an antistatic cloth. Never use a
dry cloth. This can cause static.
◆
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of different varnishes
and polishes used on today's furnishings, the risk of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
◆
Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical devices.
◆
Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
