Not all of the functions described in this user guide are
available in all countries.
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 liq-
uid:
◆
Switch the handset off and remove the bat-
teries immediately.
◆
Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
◆
Pat all parts dry, then place the handset with
the battery compartment open and the keypad
facing down 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 carefully
before use. Explain their content and the potential haz-
ards associated with using the telephone to your chil-
dren.

and personal injury.
The operation of medical appliances may be
affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
in your particular environment, 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 hum-
ming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom or
shower room. The handset and base station
are not splashproof.
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 Service, as they could
interfere with other wireless services.
