hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
$
Only use the mains unit supplied.
Fit only the recommended, rechargeable batteries (
rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and per-
sonal injury.
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. Otherwise you risk serious and per-
manent 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 splash-
proof.
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 our service, as they could inter-
fere with other wireless services.
Disposal
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.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential nega-
tive 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.

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 compartment 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.
