Safety precautions

Warning

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.

Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to

your children.

Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base

station or charging cradle.

Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (

¢ page 52), i.e. never

use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types 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 surgery.

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when

the handsfree function is activated. 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 base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.

The base station and charging cradle are not splash proof (

¢ page 52).

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.

Please note

Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

Version 4, 29.10.2007

Setting up the base station and charging cradle (if included)

The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry

rooms with a temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C.

¤ Set up the base station and charging cradles at a central location on a flat,

non-slip surface in your house or apartment.

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.

Instructions on how to mount the base station and charging cradle to a wall,

see

¢ page 58.

Please note:

u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight

or other electrical devices.

u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

Connecting the base station

¤ First connect the

mains adapter 1.

¤ Then connect the

telephone jack 2

and insert the cables

into the cableducts.

Please note:

u The mains adapter

must always be con-

nected, as the phone

will not operate with-

out mains connection.

u Only use the mains adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on

telephone cables can vary (pin connections

¢ page 53).

Please note

Pay attention to the range of the base station.

This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside

buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (

¢ page 40) is activated.
