Safety precautions

Only use approved nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries! (➔ page 6).

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

+	_	Only use rechargeable batte-
B		ries with the poles aligned as
		shown!
		Type according to instruc-
		tions

●Do not submerge batteries in water; do not throw them into fire.

●Do not dispose of old, defective batteries with normal household garbage.

●Batteries become warm during charging. This is nor- mal and not dangerous

●Do not use any third-party charging units. The batte- ries could be damaged.

●Only the plug-in power supply unit supplied (details on the underside of the device) may be used.

Check that the socket into which you insert the plug-in power unit has the correct voltage. If your plug-in power unit does not have the right voltage, please contact Siemens.

●Do not confuse the plugs of the base station. Abnor- mally high voltages could be imposed across the char- ging contacts for brief intervals, such as during thun- der storms.

●The handset may not be operated in rooms with ex- plosion hazards.

Research has demonstrated that cordless tele- phones (DECT) which are switched on can inter- fere with the operation of medial equipment.

Thus, you should maintain a minimum distance of one meter between the telephone and medi- cal equipment. When using a mobile telephone in medical institutions, the regulations of the in- stitution in question must be observed.
