Safety precautions

●

Do not submerge batteries in water; do not throw

them into fire.

●

Do not dispose of old, defective batteries with normal

household garbage.

●

Batteries become warm during charging. This is nor-

mal and not dangerous

●

Do not use any third-party charging units. The batte-

ries could be damaged.

●

Only the plug-in power supply unit supplied (details

on the underside of the device) may be used.

●

Do not confuse the plugs of the base station. Abnor-

mally high voltages could be imposed across the char-

ging contacts for brief intervals, such as during thun-

der storms.

●

The handset may not be operated in rooms with ex-

plosion hazards.

Only use approved nickel-cadmium (NiCd)

and nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries!

(➔ page 6).
Never use other batteries or ordinary (non-re-

chargeable) batteries! These batteries can short

circuit or destroy the battery unit (dangerous).

The following labels are found on the battery

compartments of the handset and charging unit:

Check that the socket into which you insert the

plug-in power unit has the correct voltage. If

your plug-in power unit does not have the right

voltage, please contact Siemens.

Research has demonstrated that cordless tele-

phones (DECT) which are switched on can inter-

fere with the operation of medial equipment.

Thus, you should maintain a minimum distance

of one meter between the telephone and medi-

cal equipment. When using a mobile telephone

in medical institutions, the regulations of the in-

stitution in question must be observed.

Only use rechargeable batte-

ries with the poles aligned as

shown!
