Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your
children.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (¢page 37) as this could oth-
erwise 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 speaker
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 an unpleasant humming or whistling noise in hearing aids
or cause them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid
supplier.
Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
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 bases from use or have them repaired by our Service depart-
ment, as they could interfere with other wireless services.
