Safety precautions
Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the tele-
phone.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
station or the back of the charging cradle.
Fit only the approved rechargeable battery pack! Never use a conventional
(non-rechargeable) battery pack as this could damage your health and cause
injury. Use the battery pack as directed in this user guide (page 58).
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. This can cause severe, permanent hearing
damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
The base station and the charging cradle are not splash proof (page 56).
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard,
e.g. auto paint shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user
guide.
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 pre-
vent potential 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 con-
tact your local council refuse centre or the original supplier of the product.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by Siemens,
as they could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note:
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.
