u
Explain 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.
