Safety precautions

Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock
(

page 1) is activated!

Not all of the functions described in this user guide are avail-
able 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 liquid:

◆

Switch the handset off and remove the batteries
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 hazards
associated with using the telephone to your children.

Only use

the mains adapter supplied

Fit only the

recommended, rechargeable

batteries

(

page 13), i.e. never use any other

battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this
could result in significant health risks 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 sur-
gery.
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.
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 our service, as they could
interfere with other wireless services.

Your telephone has a power-saving adapter plug
and uses less power.

Reduced transmission power

The transmission power of your telephone is
