Safety information

Safety information

Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to comply presents a risk of injury and

damage to a device, as well as breaches of applicable laws.

Please explain to your children the contents of this document as well as the potential

risk

s associated with using this device.

General information

• For your own safety, only use original, approved accessories from Gigaset for your

mobile phone. Using incompatible accessories can damage the mobile phone and

entail hazardous situations. Original accessories can be purchased from Gigaset

Customer Service (see Customer service United Kingdom and Ireland

 p. 63).

• The mobile phone is not waterproof. The device or its accessories must therefore

not be kept or charged in damp environments (in bathrooms, shower rooms or

kitchens for example). Rain, moisture or any liquid can contain minerals which can

cause the electrical circuitry to corrode. There is a risk of electric shock, fire or

damage when the device is being charged.

• Permitted temperature range for charging and operation: 10 to 40°C.

High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and damage the

battery; plastic parts can deform or melt. Using or keeping the mobile phone in

refrigerated areas can result in condensation on the inside of the telephone which

will destroy the electronic circuitry.

• The mobile phone must not be used or kept in dusty or dirty places. Dust can be a

reason for the mobile phone to malfunction.

• Switch off your mobile phone when in potentially explosive areas and observe all

warning signs. Potentially explosive areas also include places where switching off

vehicle engines is normally recommended. It is at these kinds of places that flying

sparks can be the cause of explosions or fires with resulting injuries, and there may

be a risk to life.

These areas include petrol stations, chemical factories, transport and storage

systems for hazardous chemicals, spaces under ship decks, areas in which the air

contains chemical substances or fine particles (such as dust or metal powder parti-

cles).

• Short-circuiting, disassembling and modifying the mobile phone are not

permitted because they present a risk of injury, electric shock, fire or damage to

the charger.

Battery and charging

• Never burn or heat batteries, and do not dispose of them in environments which

are at risk of heat or fire to prevent battery fluid escaping, overheating, explosion

and fire. Do not disassemble, weld and/or modify the battery. Do not keep the

battery where it is exposed to strong mechanical effects.

• Do not use any sharp objects (such as screwdrivers) to touch or pierce the battery.

There is a risk that battery fluid will escape or the battery will overheat, explode or

catch fire and burn. Crushing, heating and burning batteries are strictly prohibited.

• The battery electrolyte coming into contact with eyes can cause a loss of eyesight.

If electrolyte does enter an eye, please do not rub the eye with a hand. Immediately

wash the affected eye thoroughly with clear water and consult a doctor. The elec-

trolyte coming into contact with skin (or clothing) presents a risk of skin burns.

Immediately wash the skin or clothing thoroughly with soap and clear water, and

consult a doctor if required.

• Never use batteries for purposes other than those specified. Never use a damaged

battery. If the battery becomes hot, discolours, deforms or becomes leaky whilst

being used, charged or kept in a safe place, it must be replaced immediately by a

new battery for safety reasons.

• The battery temperature rises during the charging process. Do not keep the

battery together with ignitable products in the same drawer as this poses a risk of

fire.

• Do not charge the battery for longer than 12 hours.

• Only charge the device indoors. Whilst the phone is charging, do not use the

phone for calls or dial any numbers.

• The socket must be easily accessible during the charging process.

• Electrical storms pose a risk of electric shocks.

• Do not use the charger when the power cable is damaged or no battery is inserted

in the mobile phone because this poses a risk of electric shock and fire.

Headset

Not replacing the battery properly can pose a risk of explosion.

Dispose of used batteries in line with the instructions (Chapter Waste and

environmental protection

 p. 66).

High volumes can impair hearing.

Listening to music or conversation with headphones set to a loud volume

can be unpleasant and permanently impair hearing.

To prevent loss of hearing, do not have the volume turned up too high for

long periods.

Safety information

• If you wear headphones whilst out walking or running, please ensure that the cord

does not wrap itself around your body or objects on your person.

• Only wear headphones in dry environments. The static electricity which builds up

on the headphones can discharge via your ears as an electric shock. The static elec-

tricity can discharge if you touch the headphones with your hand or touch bare

metal before connecting with the mobile phone.

Use in hospitals / medical devices

• The function of medical equipment near your product can be impaired. Bear in

mind the technical conditions of the environment in question (such as in doctors’

surgery).

• If you use a medical device such as a pacemaker, please consult the manufacturer

of the product before using the product. You will be provided information on the

sensitivity of the device to external, high-frequency energy sources.

• Heart pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators:

When you switch on your mobile phone, ensure that the distance between the

phone and an implant is at least 152 mm. To reduce potential interference, use the

mobile phone on the opposite side to the implant. Please switch the mobile phone

off immediately if interference occurs. Do not keep the mobile phone in a shirt

pocket.

• Hearing aids, cochlear implants:

Some digital wireless devices can interfere with hearing aids and cochlear

implants. Please consult the manufacturers of these products if interference

occurs.

• Other medical devices:

If you and the people around you use other medical devices, please contact the

relevant manufacturer for information on whether such devices are protected

from radio frequency signals in the environment. You can also consult your doctor

about this.

Emergency calls

• Make sure the mobile phone is switched on and connected to the GSM network.

Enter the emergency number as required and speak.

• Tell the person at the emergency call centre your location.

• Do not end the conversation until the person at the emergency call centre asks you

to.

Children and pets

• Keep the mobile phone, batteries, chargers and accessories out of the reach of chil-

dren and pets. Children and/or pets can swallow the small parts, posing a risk of

suffocation and other hazards. A child may only use the mobile phone under the

supervision of an adult.

Aeroplanes, vehicles and road safety

• Switch off your mobile phone in aeroplanes.

Please observe applicable restrictions and regulations.

Wireless devices can interfere with the function of aeronautical equipment. Follow

the instructions issued by flight personnel when using your mobile phone.

• The absolute priority for every vehicle driver and everyone in a vehicle is safety on

the roads and for road users.

Using a mobile phone whilst driving can be distracting and therefore lead to

dangerous situations. You can also be violating applicable laws.

SIM card, memory card and data connector cable

• Do not remove the card from the mobile phone whilst data is being sent or

received as this presents a risk of data loss and damage to the mobile phone or

memory card.

Defective devices

• The installation and repair of products are the sole preserves of qualified mainte-

nance personnel.

• Dispose of faulty devices or have them repaired by our Customer Service team.

These devices could interfere with other wireless services.

• Careless handling of the mobile phone, such as dropping it, can shatter the display

and damage the electronic circuitry and sensitive parts inside.

• Do not use the device if the display is cracked or shattered. Fragments of glass or

plastic can injure hands and face.

• In the event of malfunction of your mobile phone, battery or accessories, please

contact a Gigaset Service Centre for an inspection.

Other important information

• Never point the flash light directly at the eyes of people or animals. Pointing a flash

light too near to human eyes poses a risk of temporary loss of eyesight or impair-

ment of vision.

• When the device warms up, please put it aside for a while and stop the program

you were running. Coming into contact with a hot device can cause minor skin irri-

tations such as redness.

• Do not apply lacquer to the mobile phone. Lacquer and paint can damage the

parts of the mobile phone and may cause malfunction.
