Safety precautions

Warning
Be sure to read this user guide and the safety precautions before using your telephone. Explain their content and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Use only the power adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base.
Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification provided on page 83, as this could otherwise result in significant health risks and personal injury. Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. 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 handsfree mode is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing. Your Gigaset is compatible with the majority of digital hearing aids on the market. However, perfect function with all hearing aids cannot be guaranteed. The handset may cause interference in analogue hearing aids. If you require assistance, please contact the hearing aid supplier. Do not install the base or charger in bathrooms or shower rooms. The base and charger are not splashproof ( page 82). Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g., paint shops).

Setting up the base and charger (if included)
The base and charger are designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +41F to +113F. Set up the base at a central point in the building on a level, non-slip surface or mount the base (Gigaset S790 only) or charger on the wall ( page 72).
Pay attention to the range of the base. This is up to 984 feet in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 165 feet inside buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode ( page 44) is activated. 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.
u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
u Protect your telephone from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.

Connecting the base

First connect the
power adapter 1. Then connect the telephone jack 2 and insert the cables into the cable ducts.

u The power adapter

must always be connected, as the phone will not operate without.
u Use only the power adapter and phone cord supplied. Pin connections on tele-
phone cables can vary ( page 62).
Connecting the charger (if included)
Connect the flat plug from the power

adapter 1.

Plug the power adapter into the plug

socket 2.

To disconnect the plug from the charger, press the release button 1 and disconnect the plug 2.

Setting up the handset

The display and keypad are protected by plastic films. Remove the protective films!
Inserting the batteries and closing the battery cover
Use only rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) UL-approved AAA batteries. Never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries, as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. For example, the outer casing of the batteries could be damaged or the batteries could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of the recommended type.
