Safety precautions
Warning
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the supplied charging cradle with the mains adapter.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries ( page 35), 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 splashproof ( page 35).
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.

First steps
Setting up the charging cradle
The charging cradle is designed to be operated in enclosed, dry areas at temperatures ranging from +5°C to +45°C.
Place the charging cradle on a level, non-slip surface or mount it on the wall → page 37.
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 is activated ( page 25).
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.
Please note:
◆ Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other electrical devices.
◆Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.

 If the handset should come into contact with liquid: 1. Switch the handset off and remove the batteries immediately. 2. Allow the liquid to drain from the handset. 3. 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.). 4.
