First steps
Seting up the charging cradle
The charging cradle is designed for use in enclosed
dry rooms with 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.
Please note:
◆
Never expose the telephone to heat sources,
direct sunlight or other electrical appliances.
◆
Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corro-
sive liquids and vapours.

mended by Gigaset Communications GmbH

rechargeable) battery or other battery types as
this could result in significant health risks and per-
