Safety precautions
Care
Wipe down the base station and handset with a
damp
cloth (no solvents) or an antistatic cloth.
Never
use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Contact with liquid
If the handset should come into contact with liquid:
◆
Switch the handset off and remove the batteries
immediately.
◆
Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
◆
Pat all parts dry, then with the battery compart-
ment open and the keypad facing down place the
handset in a dry, warm place
for at least 72 hours
(
not
in a microwave, oven etc.).
◆
Do not switch on the handset again until it is
completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able
to use it again.
Read this user guide and the safety precautions care-
fully before use. Explain their contents and the
potential hazards associated with using the tele-
phone to your children.

be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environ-
ment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to
your ear when it is ringing. Otherwise you
risk serious and permanent damage to
your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant
humming noise in hearing aids.

shower room. The handset is not splash-
proof.
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 base stations from
use or have them repaired by our service,
as they could interfere with other wireless
services.
