8Safety notes
Safety notes
Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the device to your children.
The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is not possible either to make emer-
gency calls.
It is not possible to call emergency numbers either when the keypad lock is activated.
Do not use the device in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. paint shops).
The devices are not splash-proof. For this reason, do not install them in a damp environment such
as bathrooms or shower rooms.
Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Technical data"), as this
could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries that
are noticeably damaged must be replaced.
If you give your handset 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 they 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
the hands or face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is acti-
vated. Otherwise you may seriously and permanently impair your hearing.
Your handset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market. However, per-
fect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed.
The telephone may cause interference in analog hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause
them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.
Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions
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 specifications of your handset, see "Technical data").

•One battery,
•One belt clip,
•One user guide.
Installing the charging cradle
The charging cradle is designed for operation in closed, dry rooms within a temperature range of +5 °C to
+45 °C.
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.

¤Insert the AC adapter into the power socket .
To remove the plug from the charging cradle again:
¤Disconnect the AC adapter from the mains power supply.
¤Press the release button .

Setting up the handset for use
The display is protected by a plastic film. Please remove
the protective film!
Inserting the battery
Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical
devices.
Protect the telephone from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
Only use a rechargeable battery as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and per-
sonal injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries could be destroyed or the battery
could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries
that are not of the recommended type.
¤Insert battery with the contact surface facing
down .
¤Then press the battery downwards until it
clicks into place .
¤Align the protrusions on the side of the
