Safety precautions

Version 4, 16.09.2005
Safety precautions
uRead the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
uExplain 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 notice-
ably damaged, must be replaced.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical con-
ditions 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 Technical data 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
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 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 install them 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
interfere with other wireless services.
Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause
injury to hands and face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.
To prevent loss of hearing, avoid listening at high volume over long periods of time.

Disposal
Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the local waste dis-
posal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your local authority.
All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from general house-
hold waste using the sites designated by local authorities.
The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to prevent poten-
tial harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondition for the re-use and recy-
cling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact your local
authority or your refuse collection service.
uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible
to transmit emergency calls.
uEmergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad/display lock is activated!

The base and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms with a temperature
range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤Install the base on a level, non-slip surface in a central location in your house or flat.
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
surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
¤The display is protected by a plastic film. Please remove the protective film!

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Warning
Only use the rechargeable batteries (¢page 27) recommended by Gigaset Communica-
tions GmbH, i.e. never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries, as this could 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.

Please note
uAfter the first battery charge and discharge you may replace your handset in the charg-
ing cradle after every call.
