Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the device to your children.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Technical Data").
Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result
in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries, which are noticeably
damaged, must be replaced. Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base station while
the headset is connected.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical condi-
tions in your particular environment, e.g., doctor's surgery.
If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. They
will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high
frequency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Technical Data").
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is acti-
vated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids onthe market. However, per-
fect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.
The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause
them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not installthem in a damp environment such
as bathrooms or shower rooms.
Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.
Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could inter-
fere with other wireless services. Disconnect the telephone network connector (TNV circuit con-
nector).
Please note
uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit emer-
gency calls.
uEmergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock is activated!

Getting started
Getting started
Checking the package contents
One Gigaset handset, one battery cover (rear cover of the handset), two batteries, one charger
with power adapter, one belt clip, one rubber seal for the USB connection, one user guide.
Setting up the charger
The charger is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤Set up the charger on a level, non-slip surface, or mount the charger on the wall.
The phone’s feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of
different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the sur-
faces cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to the effects of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical
devices.
uProtect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
Connecting the charger
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base. In buildings this is up to 50 m, outdoors up to 300 m.
The range is reduced when Max. Range (
¢ page 21) is deactivated.
¤ Connect the flat plug to the charger cradle .
¤ Plug the power adapter into the plug socket .
If you have to remove the plug from the charger again:
¤ Disconnect the power adapter from the A/C power
outlet.
¤ Press the release button and disconnect the
plug .
