Safety precautions
Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully
before use. Explain their contents and the potential hazards
associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains unit supplied.
$
¢
Fit only the recommended, rechargeable
batteries (
page 13), i.e. never use a conven-
tional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery
types as this could result in significant health risks
and personal injury.
The operation of medical appliances may be
affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's sur-
gery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear
when it is ringing. Otherwise you risk serious and
permanent damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming
noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or shower
room. The handset and base station are not
splashproof.
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.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or
have them repaired by our service, as they could
interfere with other wireless services.
Disposal
Batteries should not be disposed of in general
household waste. Observe the local waste dis-
posal regulations, details of which can be obtained
from your local authority.
All electrical and electronic equipment must be
disposed of separately from general household
waste using the sites designated by local authori-
ties.
If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out
rubbish bin, the product is subject to European
Directive 2002/96/EC.
The appropriate disposal and separate collection
of used equipment serve to prevent potential
harm to the environment and to health. They are a
precondition for the re-use and recycling of used
electrical and electronic equipment.
For further information on disposing of your used
equipment, please contact your local authority or

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.
Contact with liquid
If the handset should come into contact with liquid:
◆
Switch the handset off and remove the batteries
immediately.
◆
Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
◆
Pat all parts dry, then with the battery compart-
ment open and the keypad facing down place the
handset in a dry, warm place for at least 72 hours
(not in a microwave, oven etc.).
◆
Do not switch on the handset again until it is
completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able
to use it again.
