Safety precautions

Warning:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
$
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base station.
Fit only the recommended rechargeable batteries (page 36) of the same type!
This means that you must not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as
this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
‹
Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity, and use them according to this user
guide (symbols are attached to the inside or outside of the handset's battery compart-
Œ
ment, page 8).
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 or when the handsfree
function is activated. 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 base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and base sta-
tion are not splashproof (page 35).
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
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.
This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered by the
European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent poten-
tial negative 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.
Please note:
If the key block is switched on, even emergency numbers cannot be dialled!
