Safety precautions
Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the tele-
phone.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
station.
Fit only the
recommended, rechargeable batteries
(page 61)! Donot use any
other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in signifi-
cant health risks and personal injury.
Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity and use in accordance
with this user guide (polarity symbols are provided in the handset battery com-
partments).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in a bathroom or shower room, as the handset
and base station are not splash-proof (page 58).
Switch off your phone (incl. Walk and Talk function) while on board an aircraft.
Ensure that it cannot be switched on again accidentally.
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard,
e.g. auto paint shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user
guide.
Dispose of the batteries and phone in accordance with environmental regula-
tions.
