Safety precautions 

*

 

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone. 

Warning

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain them and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your 

children.

* also  see  page 36

Only use the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base 

station or charging cradle.

Only insert 

approved rechargeable batteries of the same type

Never use ordinary (non-rechargeable) batteries as they may pose a health 

hazard or cause injury. 
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical 

conditions in your particular environment, such as a doctor's office.
To maintain compliance with the Industry Canada’s RF exposure guideline, place 

the base station at least 20 cm from nearby persons.

Notice to Hearing Aid Wearers:

This phone system is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.

Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. 

The base station and charging cradle are not splash proof (

¢

page 32).

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard 

(e.g. paint shops).

If you give your telephone to someone else, make sure you include the user 

guide.

Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by Gigaset 

Service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

Dispose of batteries and the phone carefully. Do not pollute the environment. 

Emergency numbers cannot be dialed if the keypad lock is activated!
