Safety precautions

Only use approved nickel-cadmium (NiCd) bat- teries or nickelmetalhydride batteries (NiMH)! (➔ page 86).

Never use other batteries or ordinary (non-re- chargeable) batteries.These can short circuit or destroy the battery unit (dangerous). The follow- ing labels are found on the battery compart- ments of the handset and charging unit:

+	_	Only use rechargeable bat-
B		teries with the poles aligned
		as shown.
		Type as indicated in these
		installation instructions.

●Avoid contact with water and fire.

●Do not dispose of old, defective batteries with ordi- nary household refuse.

●During charging, batteries heat up. This is normal and is not dangerous.

●Do not use non-Siemens charging units. This could damage the batteries.

●Only use the plug-in power unit supplied (number C39280-Z4-C67).

●If possible, do not cross the base station plugs. Oth- erwise the voltage applied to the charging contacts may surge during storms, for example.

●Do not operate the handset in environments where there is danger of explosion.

Research has shown that in certain cases, med- ical equipment can be affected by activated cordless telephones (DECT). A distance of at least one metre should therefore be maintained between the telephone and the medical equip- ment. When using cordless telephones in the vicinity of medical equipment, the regulations of the relevant institution must be observed.
