Safety precautions

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.
Fit only the approved rechargeable battery pack (page 63)! That means never
use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack, as this could result in sig-
nificant health risks and personal injury.
Battery packs should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe
the local waste disposal regulations, which you can find out about by contacting
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 base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 61).
Do not use your 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 Centre, as they could interfere with other wireless services.
