Safety precautions
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.

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!

Checking the pack contents
Setting up the base and handset charging cradle
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!
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electri-
cal devices.
uProtect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Warning
Only use the rechargeable batteries (¢page 35) 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.
¤Slide the battery cover from bottom up
onto the casing until it clicks into place.
Opening the battery cover
If you need to open the battery cover,
for instance to replace the batteries:
¤Press the ribbing at the top of the
battery cover and slide it down-
ward.
¤Insert the batteries the right way round.
The polarity is indicated in/on the battery
compartment.

First steps
Placing the handset in the charging cradle
Place the handset in the charging cradle with its display facing forward.
The supplied handset is registered with the base at the factory. You do not need to register it. If
you wish to use your handset with a different base or use further handsets with your base, you
will have to register them manually, ¢page 24.
To charge the batteries, leave the handset in the charging cradle.
Initial charging and discharging of the batteries
The correct charge level can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully charged and dis-
charged.
Setting the date and time
Set the date and time so that the correct date and time can be assigned to incoming calls, and
so that the alarm can be used. You can set the date and time on any registered handset
(¢page 30).
Your telephone is now ready to use!
Please note
Only place the handset in the charging cradle that is intended for it.
Please note
uAfter the first battery charge and discharge you may replace your handset in the charg-
ing cradle after every call.
uAlways repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the batteries from
the handset and re-insert them.
uThe batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a while, the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.
¤Place the handset in the charging cradle for 10
hours.
¤Then remove the handset
from the charging cradle
and do not replace it until
the batteries are fully dis-
charged.
