Safety Precautions - Siemens Gigaset SL56 Owner's Manual

Safety precautions

Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the tele-
phone.
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! Never use a conventional (non-
rechargeable) battery pack as this could damage your health and cause injury. Use the
battery pack as directed in this user guide (page 26).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical condi-
tions 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. This can cause severe, permanent hearing damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charging cradle is
not splashproof (page 25).
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 guide.
ƒ
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 products should be disposed of 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 covered by the
European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent poten-
tial negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for
reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your
local council refuse centre or the original supplier of the product.

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