Safety precautions

Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use. Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base station or charging cradle. Fit only the approved rechargeable battery pack! Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack as this could damage your health and cause injury. Use the battery pack as directed in this user guide (page 25). 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. This can cause severe, permanent hearing damage. The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids. Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charging cradle is not splashproof (page 24). 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. All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities. This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC. The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment. For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

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

Fitting the battery pack

Only use the rechargeable Siemens original battery pack (page 25)! This means that you should never use a conventional (nonrechargeable) battery pack, as this may cause significant damage to health and property. For example, the outer casing of the battery pack could be destroyed or the battery pack could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of the recommended type.

Notes:

If the handset has switched itself off because the battery pack is flat and is then placed in the charging cradle, it will switch itself on automatically. Only place the handset in the charging cradle that is intended for it.
For questions and problems see page 24.
Initial charging and discharging of the battery pack
If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon e in the top right of the display indicates that the battery pack is being charged. During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the battery pack (page 1). The correct charge status can only be displayed if the battery pack is first fully charged and discharged. To do this, leave the handset in the charging cradle continuously for ten hours. Your handset need not be switched on for it to charge. Afterwards, remove the handset from the charging cradle and do not put it back again until the battery pack is fully discharged.
After the first battery charge and discharge, you may replace your handset in the charging cradle after every call.

Your handset is now ready for operation!
u Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the battery pack from the handset and insert it again.
