Setting up the base station and charging cradle

The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature range of
+5 °C to +45 °C.
¤
Set up the base station at a central location on a flat, non-slip surface in your house or apartment.
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base station.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings.
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of different varnishes
and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled
out.
Please note:
◆
Never expose the telephone to heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical appliances.
◆
Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
