Warning:
Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions on the CD before using your telephone.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
>
Use only the supplied power adapters, as specified on the back of the base or charger.
Use only the cables supplied for fixed line and LAN connection and connect these to the intended port only.
>
Use only the recommended, rechargeable batteries, as this could otherwise result in significant health
risks and personal injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries could be damaged or the batteries
could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not
of the recommended type.
>
Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity and use them in accordance with the user guide
(polarity symbols are displayed in or on the handset battery compartment).
>
Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the local waste disposal regula-
tions, details of which can be obtained from your local authority or the dealer you purchased the product
from.
>
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. 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 handsfree mode is activated.
Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market. However, perfect func-
tion with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids or cause them to over-
load. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
>
Do not install the base and charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset, base and charger are not
splashproof.
>
The charger and base are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.
>
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, e.g., paint shops.
>
Never expose the telephone to heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical appliances.
>
Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
>
If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure that you also give them the user guide.
>
Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as they could interfere with other
wireless services. Disconnect the telephone network connector (TNV circuit connector) before removing
cover.
>

designated local authority sites.
