Safety information
Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to comply presents a risk of injury and
damage to a device, as well as breaches of applicable laws.
Please explain to your children the contents of this document as well as the potential
risks associated with using this device.
General information
•For your own safety, only use original, approved accessories from Gigaset for your
mobile phone. Using incompatible accessories can damage the mobile phone and
entail hazardous situations. Original accessories can be purchased from Gigaset
Customer Service (see Customer service United Kingdom and Ireland p. 71).
•The mobile phone is not waterproof. The device or its accessories must therefore
not be kept or charged in damp environments (in bathrooms, shower rooms or
kitchens for example). Rain, moisture or any liquid can contain minerals which can
cause the electrical circuitry to corrode. There is a risk of electric shock, fire or
damage when the device is being charged.
•Permitted temperature range for charging and operation: 10 to 40°C.
High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and damage the
battery; plastic parts can deform or melt. Using or keeping the mobile phone in
refrigerated areas can result in condensation on the inside of the telephone which
will destroy the electronic circuitry.
•The mobile phone must not be used or kept in dusty or dirty places. Dust can be a
reason for the mobile phone to malfunction.
•Switch off your mobile phone when in potentially explosive areas and observe all
warning signs. Potentially explosive areas also include places where switching off
vehicle engines is normally recommended. It is at these kinds of places that flying
sparks can be the cause of explosions or fires with resulting injuries, and there may
be a risk to life.
These areas include petrol stations, chemical factories, transport and storage
systems for hazardous chemicals, spaces under ship decks, areas in which the air
contains chemical substances or fine particles (such as dust or metal powder parti-
cles).
•Short-circuiting, disassembling and modifying the mobile phone are not
permitted because they present a risk of injury, electric shock, fire or damage to
the charger.
•Charges might apply when establishing Internet connections via the SIM card.

Battery and charging
•Never burn or heat batteries, and do not dispose of them in environments which
are at risk of heat or fire to prevent battery fluid escaping, overheating, explosion
and fire. Do not disassemble, weld and/or modify the battery. Do not keep the
battery where it is exposed to strong mechanical effects.
•Do not use any sharp objects (such as screwdrivers) to touch or pierce the battery.
There is a risk that battery fluid will escape or the battery will overheat, explode or
catch fire and burn. Crushing, heating and burning batteries are strictly prohibited.
•The battery electrolyte coming into contact with eyes can cause a loss of eyesight.
If electrolyte does enter an eye, please do not rub the eye with a hand. Immediately
wash the affected eye thoroughly with clear water and consult a doctor. The elec-
trolyte coming into contact with skin (or clothing) presents a risk of skin burns.
Immediately wash the skin or clothing thoroughly with soap and clear water, and
consult a doctor if required.
•Never use batteries for purposes other than those specified. Never use a damaged
battery. If the battery becomes hot, discolours, deforms or becomes leaky whilst
being used, charged or kept in a safe place, it must be replaced immediately by a
new battery for safety reasons.
•The battery temperature rises during the charging process. Do not keep the
battery together with ignitable products in the same drawer as this poses a risk of
fire.
•Do not charge the battery for longer than 12 hours.
•Only charge the device indoors. Whilst the phone is charging, do not use the
phone for calls or dial any numbers.
•The socket must be easily accessible during the charging process.
•Electrical storms pose a risk of electric shocks.
•Do not use the charger when the power cable is damaged or no battery is inserted
in the mobile phone because this poses a risk of electric shock and fire.
Headset
•If you wear headphones whilst out walking or running, please ensure that the cord
does not wrap itself around your body or objects on your person.
Not replacing the battery properly can pose a risk of explosion.
Dispose of used batteries in line with the instructions (Section Waste and
environmental protection p. 75).
High volumes can impair hearing.
Listening to music or conversation with headphones set to a loud volume
can be unpleasant and permanently impair hearing.
To prevent loss of hearing, do not have the volume turned up too high for
long periods.

Safety information

•Only wear headphones in dry environments. The static electricity which builds up
on the headphones can discharge via your ears as an electric shock. The static elec-
tricity can discharge if you touch the headphones with your hand or touch bare
metal before connecting with the mobile phone.
Use in hospitals / medical devices
•The function of medical equipment near your product can be impaired. Bear in
mind the technical conditions of the environment in question (such as in a doctors’
surgery).
•If you use a medical device such as a pacemaker, please consult the manufacturer
of the product before using the product. You will be provided information on the
sensitivity of the device to external, high-frequency energy sources.
•Heart pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators:
When you switch on your mobile phone, ensure that the distance between the
phone and an implant is at least 152 mm. To reduce potential interference, use the
mobile phone on the opposite side to the implant. Please switch the mobile phone
off immediately if interference occurs. Do not keep the mobile phone in a shirt
pocket.
•Hearing aids, cochlear implants:
Some digital wireless devices can interfere with hearing aids and cochlear
implants. Please consult the manufacturers of these products if interference
occurs.
•Other medical devices:
If you and the people around you use other medical devices, please contact the
relevant manufacturer for information on whether such devices are protected
from radio frequency signals in the environment. You can also consult your doctor
about this.
Emergency calls
•Make sure the mobile phone is switched on and connected to the GSM network.
Enter the emergency number as required and speak.
•Tell the person at the emergency call centre your location.
•Do not end the conversation until the person at the emergency call centre asks you
to.
Children and pets
•Keep the mobile phone, batteries, chargers and accessories out of the reach of chil-
dren and pets. Children and/or pets can swallow the small parts, posing a risk of
suffocation and other hazards. A child may only use the mobile phone under the
supervision of an adult.

Aeroplanes, vehicles and road safety
•Switch off your mobile phone in aeroplanes.
Please observe applicable restrictions and regulations.
Wireless devices can interfere with the function of aeronautical equipment. Follow
the instructions issued by flight personnel when using your mobile phone.
•The absolute priority for every vehicle driver and everyone in a vehicle is safety on
the roads and for road users.
Using a mobile phone whilst driving can be distracting and therefore lead to
dangerous situations. You may also be violating applicable laws.
SIM card, memory card and data connector cable
•Do not remove the card from the mobile phone whilst data is being sent or
received as this presents a risk of data loss and damage to the mobile phone or
memory card.
Defective devices
•Dispose of faulty devices or have them repaired by our Customer Service team.
These devices could interfere with other wireless services.
•Careless handling of the mobile phone, such as dropping it, can shatter the display
and damage the electronic circuitry and sensitive parts inside.
•Do not use the device if the display is cracked or shattered. Fragments of glass or
plastic can injure hands and face.
•In the event of malfunction of your mobile phone, battery or accessories, please
contact a Gigaset Service Centre for an inspection.
Other important information
•Never point the flash light directly at the eyes of people or animals. Pointing a flash
light too near to human eyes poses a risk of temporary loss of eyesight or impair-
ment of vision.
•When the device warms up, please put it aside for a while and stop the program
you were running. Coming into contact with a hot device can cause minor skin irri-
tations such as redness.
•Do not apply lacquer to the mobile phone. Lacquer and paint can damage the
parts of the mobile phone and may cause malfunction.
