Safety precautions Congratulations on purchasing your Siemens Gigaset! Please read the following pages to find out how your telephone works so you can get the best out of your new phone. Safety precautions Only use the power supply unit supplied, identified on the underside of the device.
Preparing the telephone Preparing the telephone The package contains the following: one base station one handset one power supply unit one telephone cable one belt clip for the handset two batteries one set of operating instructions.

Page 9
Only use the power supply unit supplied as indicated on the underside of the device. If you buy another cable, ensure that the telephone leads have 3-4 assignment. Attention: new telephone cable. Only use the cable supplied. If you might need another one, only use Siemens original acces- sories.
Only insert the recommended rechargeable batteries (see page 78). Never use ordinary (non-rechargeable) batteries as they may pose a health hazard or cause injury. Never use non-Siemens charging units as these may damage the batteries. Placing handset into base station and charging the batteries Before activating your handset, place it in the base station with the dis- play facing upward.
Preparing the telephone Once the initial charging operation is completed you can re- place your handset in the base station after each call. Charg- ing is controlled electronically. This ensures optimum charg- ing and prolongs battery life. The batteries heat up during charging. This is normal and not dangerous.
