General information
•
For your own safety, only use original, approved accessories from Gigaset for your
mobile phone. Using incompatible accessories can damage the mobile phone and
entail hazardous situations. Original accessories can be purchased from Gigaset
Customer Service (see Customer service United Kingdom and Ireland
•
The mobile phone is not waterproof. The device or its accessories must therefore
not be kept or charged in damp environments (in bathrooms, shower rooms or
kitchens for example). Rain, moisture or any liquid can contain minerals which can
cause the electrical circuitry to corrode. There is a risk of electric shock, fire or
damage when the device is being charged.
•
Permitted temperature range for charging and operation: 10 to 40°C.
High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and damage the
battery; plastic parts can deform or melt. Using or keeping the mobile phone in
refrigerated areas can result in condensation on the inside of the telephone which
will destroy the electronic circuitry.
•
The mobile phone must not be used or kept in dusty or dirty places. Dust can be a
reason for the mobile phone to malfunction.
•
Switch off your mobile phone when in potentially explosive areas and observe all
warning signs. Potentially explosive areas also include places where switching off
vehicle engines is normally recommended. It is at these kinds of places that flying
sparks can be the cause of explosions or fires with resulting injuries, and there may
be a risk to life.
These areas include petrol stations, chemical factories, transport and storage
systems for hazardous chemicals, spaces under ship decks, areas in which the air
contains chemical substances or fine particles (such as dust or metal powder parti-
cles).
•
Short-circuiting, disassembling and modifying the mobile phone are not
permitted because they present a risk of injury, electric shock, fire or damage to
the charger.
