◆Place the battery leads in the cable guides so
that the battery cover cannot catch on the leads
and damage them when it is closed.
◆Use only the rechargeable battery pack rec-
ommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH *
(page 8), i.e. never use a conventional (non-
rechargeable) battery pack as this may cause sig-
nificant 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.
◆Only use the battery charger supplied.
◆Only place the handset in the charging cradle
that is intended for it.
