Overview

Safety precautions

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.

The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. It is also not possible to transmit emergency calls.

Emergency numbers cannot be dialed if the keypad/display lock is activated!

Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see list of permitted  batteries www.gigaset.com/service). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or  other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable  batteries, which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.

Do not charge the handset in charging unit or base station while the headset is connected.

The handset must not be operated if the battery cover is open.

Ensure that the batteries can not be short-circuited by objects in the battery compartment.

Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).

The devices are not splash proof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environment such  as bathrooms or shower rooms.

Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.

Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible.

Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these could inter fere with other wireless services. Disconnect the telephone network connector (TNV circuit  connector).

Do not use the device if the display is cracked or broken. Broken glass or plastic can cause injury  to hands and face. Send the device to our Service department to be repaired.

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when speaker mode is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.

The phone may cause interference in analogue hearing aids (humming or whistling) or cause  them to overload. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier.

Keep small cells and batteries, which can be swallowed, out of the reach of children. Swallowing a battery can lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue and death. Severe burns can  occur within 2 hours of swallowing.

In the case of a swallowed cell or battery, seek medical care immediately.

Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical conditions  in your particular environment, e.g., doctor’s surgery.

If you use a medical device (e.g., a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. They will  be able to advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high  frequency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see “Technical data”).

Safety precautions

Notice to Hearing Aid Wearers:
This phone system is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.

Power Outage:
In the event of a power outage, your cordless telephone will not operate. The cordless telephone requires electricity for operation. You should have a telephone that does not require electricity available for use during power outages.

Radio frequency radiation exposure Information:
The installation of the base unit should allow at least 8 inches between the base and persons to be in compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For body worn operation, the portable part (handset) has been tested touched to the phantom and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

Notice to telephone company service:
If you need service from your telephone company, please provide them with the information
• Facility interface Code (FIC)
• Service Order Code (SOC)
• Universal Service Order Code (USOC)
as indicated on the label on the bottom side of the base station.

11. To reduce the risk of electric shock or burns, do not disassemble this product. Take it to a qualified service center when service is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages, dangerous electrical current or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used. Disconnect TNV circuit connector before removing cover.

12. Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
    a.) When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
    b.) If liquid has been spilled into the product.

Care
Wipe the device with a damp cloth or an antistatic cloth. Do not use solvents or microfibre cloths.
Never use a dry cloth; this can cause static.
In rare cases, contact with chemical substances can cause changes to the device’s exterior. Due to the wide variety of chemical products available on the market, it was not possible to test all substances.
Impairments in high-gloss finishes can be carefully removed using display polishes for mobile phones.

Contact with liquid
If the device comes into contact with liquid:
1 Disconnect the power supply.
2 Remove the batteries and leave the battery compartment open.
3 Allow the liquid to drain from the device.
4 Pat all parts dry.
5 Place the device in a dry, warm place for at least 72 hours (not in a microwave, oven etc.) with the battery compartment open and the keypad facing down (if applicable).
6 Do not switch on the device again until it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able to use it again.
