Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user manual before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the rear of the base.
Use only the supplied, original batteries (¢page 84) as this could otherwise result
in significant health risks and personal injury. Replacement batteries can be
obtained via the Gigaset Service Hotline.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the tech-
nical conditions in your particular environment, e.g., doctor's surgery.
If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufac-
turer. They will be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to
external sources of high frequency energy. Please refer to the "Appendix" chapter for
the specifications of this Gigaset product.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when handsfree
mode is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hear-
ing.
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 handset may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whis-
tling) or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing
aid supplier.
Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and
charger are not splashproof (¢page 84).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint
shops).
If you give your phone to a third party, make sure you also give them the user guide.
Remove faulty bases from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these
could interfere with other wireless services.
Please note
uNot all functions described in this user guide are available in all countries and with all net-
work providers.
uThe device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In this case, it is also not possi-
ble to transmit emergency calls.

Installing the base and charger
The base and charger are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of
+5°C to +45°C.
¤Set up the base on a level, non-slip surface at a central point in the building or
mount the base on the wall (¢page 13).
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.
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.
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside build-
ings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode is activated (¢page 56).
