Safety precautions

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Comprehensive user guides for all telephones and telephone systems as well as for accessories
can be found online at gigasetpro.com in the Support category. We thereby help to save paper
while providing fast access to the complete up-to-date documentation at any time.
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.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see list of permitted
batteries www.gigaset.com/service). 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.
The handset must not be operated if the battery cover is open.
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.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could inter-
fere with other wireless services.
Keep small cells and batteries, which can be swallowed, out of the reach of children.
Swallowing a battery can lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue and death. Severe burns can
occur within 2 hours of swallowing.
In the case of a swallowed cell or battery, seek medical care immediately.
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 pace-
maker), 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 "Technical data").
Clean the proximity sensor occasionally to guarantee correct and safe function.
