Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base sta-
tion or charging cradle.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢page 47), i.e. never use a
conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result
in significant health risks and personal injury.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical con-
ditions 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. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent dam-
age to your hearing.
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 charging cradle are not splash proof (¢page 47).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint
shops).
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the
user guide.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired our service, 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.

Setting up the base station and charging cradle (if included)
The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry rooms
with a temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C.
¤Set up the base station and charging cradles at a central location on a flat, non-
slip surface in your house or apartment.
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.
Instructions on how to mount the base station and charging cradle to a wall, see
¢page 49.
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
uProtect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

¤First connect the
mains adapter 1.
¤Then connect the tel-
ephone jack 2and
insert the cables into
the cableducts.
Please note:
uThe mains adapter
must always be con-
nected, as the phone
will not operate with-
out mains connection.
uOnly use the mains adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on tele-
phone cables can vary (pin connections ¢page 48).
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base station.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside build-
ings.
