Safety precautions
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock
(¢p. 1) is activated!
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are
available in all countries.
Care
Wipe down the base station and handset with a
damp cloth (no solvents) or an antistatic cloth.
Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Contact with liquid
If the handset should come into contact with liq-
uid:
◆Switch the handset off and remove the bat-
teries immediately.
◆Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
◆Pat all parts dry, then with the battery compart-
ment open and the keypad facing down place
the handset in a dry, warm place for at least
72 hours (notin a microwave, oven etc.).
◆Do not switch on the handset again until it is
completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally be
able to use it again.
Read this user guide and the safety precautions carefully
before use. Explain their contents and the potential
hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Only use the mains unit supplied.
Fit only the recommended, rechargeable
batteries (¢p. 11), i.e. never use a conven-
tional (non-rechargeable) battery or other bat-
tery 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 conditions
in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's
surgery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear
when it is ringing. Otherwise you risk serious
and permanent damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant hum-
ming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or
shower room. The handset and base station
are not splashproof.
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 by our service, as they could
interfere with other wireless services.

Reduced energy consumption
Your telephone has an energy-saving adapter
plug and uses less energy.
Reduced transmission power
The transmission power of your telephone is
reduced automatically:
◆The handset's transmission power is reduced
depending on the distance to the base sta-
tion. The transmission power on the base
station is reduced to virtually zero when only
one handset is registered and the handset is
in the base station.
