Warning
Use only rechargeable batteries (

Gigaset Communications GmbH, as this could otherwise result in

outer casing of the batteries could be destroyed 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.

cover at an angle in an
upward direction.

Insert the batteries with the
polarity in the correct direc-
tion.
