Safety information
Proper use
The Gigaset GX6 – hereinafter referred to as the smartphone – is suitable for use in a mobile network. Your
smartphone is suitable for private and business use. Any other use is not permitted. You are not permitted to
make changes or modifications to the smartphone and any such changes or modifications will invalidate the
warranty.
General information
•The descriptions in this document are based on the default settings of your smartphone.
•For your own safety, only use original, approved accessories from Gigaset for your mobile phone. Using
incompatible accessories can damage the mobile phone and entail hazardous situations. Original acces-
sories can be purchased from Gigaset Customer Service (see Section Customer service United Kingdom
and Ireland p. 97).
•Your smartphone offers protection class IP68 (dust- and water-resistant). In the event of contact with
water, please comply with the following instructions: Never submerge your smartphone in deep water. Do
not use your smartphone underwater for more than 30 minutes at a maximum water depth of 1.5 m. Keep
all covers fully closed so that no water can get in. Once your smartphone is out of the water, dry it and
remove any remaining water droplets from the device openings (microphone / speaker (receiver) / USB
type C connector / headset jack) with a lint-free cloth.
•Permitted temperature range for charging: 0-45°C.
Permitted temperature range for operation: -10-45°C.
High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and damage the battery; plastic parts can
deform or melt. Using or keeping your smartphone in refrigerated areas can result in condensation on the
inside, which will destroy the electronic circuitry.
•Switch off your smartphone when in potentially explosive areas and observe all warning signs. Potentially
explosive areas also include places where switching off vehicle engines is normally recommended. It is at
these kinds of places that flying sparks can be the cause of explosions or fires with resulting injuries, and
there may be a risk to life.
These areas include petrol stations, chemical factories, transport and storage systems for hazardous chem-
icals, spaces under ship decks, areas in which the air contains chemical substances or fine particles (such
as dust or metal powder particles).
•Short-circuiting, disassembling and modifying your smartphone are not permitted because they present
a risk of injury, electric shock, fire or damage to the charger.
Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to comply presents a risk of injury and damage to
a device, as well as breaches of applicable laws.
Please explain to your children the contents of this document as well as the potential risks asso-
ciated with using your smartphone.
The operating guide is part of your smartphone. It contains important information about safety,
use and disposal. Please familiarise yourself with all the operating and safety information before
using your smartphone. Only use the product as described and for the specified areas of use.
Include all documents if passing your smartphone on to a third party.
Warning!
Risk of suffocation! Keep away from children! Keep packaging and protective film and batteries
away from children. Keep the mobile phone and accessories out of the reach of children. Small chil-
dren could swallow small parts or batteries. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical attention imme-
diately.
Dispose of used smartphones in line with the instructions (see Section Waste and environmental
protection p. 101).

•If your smartphone becomes hot, changes colour or shape or leaks whilst being used, charged or at any
other time, contact Gigaset Customer Service immediately.
•The apps preinstalled on your smartphone will be updated automatically. Updates may result in differ-
ences from the described menus, functions and displays or apps may no longer function properly. If in
doubt, please contact Gigaset Customer Service.
•Additional costs may be charged by your mobile network operator for automatic updates of preinstalled
apps, installing further apps or downloading image, video or audio files. Contact your mobile network
operator for suitable mobile network tariffs.
Battery and charging
•Never burn or heat batteries, and do not dispose of them in environments which are at risk of heat or fire
to prevent battery fluid escaping, overheating, explosion and fire. Do not disassemble, weld and/or modify
the battery. Do not keep the battery where it is exposed to strong mechanical effects.
•Do not use any sharp objects (such as screwdrivers) to touch or pierce the battery. There is a risk that
battery fluid will escape or the battery will overheat, explode or catch fire and burn. Crushing, heating and
burning batteries are strictly prohibited.
•The battery electrolyte coming into contact with eyes can cause a loss of eyesight. If electrolyte does enter
an eye, please do not rub the eye with a hand. Immediately wash the affected eye thoroughly with clear
water and consult a doctor. The electrolyte coming into contact with skin (or clothing) presents a risk of
skin burns. Immediately wash the skin or clothing thoroughly with soap and clear water, and consult a
doctor if required.
•Never use batteries for purposes other than those specified. Never use a damaged battery. If the battery
becomes hot, discolours, deforms or becomes leaky whilst being used, charged or kept in a safe place, it
must be replaced immediately by a new battery for safety reasons.
•The battery temperature rises during the charging process. Do not keep the battery together with ignit-
able products in the same drawer as this poses a risk of fire.
•Do not charge the battery for longer than 12 hours.
•Only charge the smartphone indoors. Whilst the phone is charging, do not use the phone for calls or dial
any numbers.
•The socket must be easily accessible during the charging process.
•Electrical storms pose a risk of electric shocks.
•Do not use the charger when the power cable is damaged or no battery is inserted in your smartphone
because this poses a risk of electric shock and fire.
•Please only use approved power adapters.
Volume
Not replacing the battery properly can pose a risk of explosion.
Dispose of used batteries in line with the instructions (see Section Waste and environmental
protection p. 101).
High volumes can impair hearing.
Listening to music or conversation with headphones set to a loud volume can be unpleasant and
permanently impair hearing.
To prevent loss of hearing, do not have the volume turned up too high for long periods.

Use in hospitals / medical devices
•The function of medical equipment near your smartphone can be impaired. Bear in mind the technical
conditions of the environment in question (such as in a doctors’ surgery).
•If you use a medical device such as a pacemaker, please consult the manufacturer of the product before
using the product. You will be provided information on the sensitivity of your smartphone to external,
high-frequency energy sources.
•Heart pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators:
When you switch on your smartphone, ensure that the distance between your smartphone and an implant
is at least 20 cm. To reduce potential interference, use your smartphone on the opposite side to the
implant. Please switch your smartphone off immediately if interference occurs. Do not keep your
smartphone in a shirt pocket.
•Hearing aids, cochlear implants:
Some digital wireless devices can interfere with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Please consult the
manufacturers of these products if interference occurs.
•Other medical devices:
If you and the people around you use other medical devices, please contact the relevant manufacturer for
information on whether such devices are protected from radio frequency signals in the environment. You
can also consult your doctor about this.
Emergency calls
•Ensure your smartphone is switched on and connected to the mobile network. Enter the emergency
number as required and speak.
•Tell the person at the emergency call centre your location.
•Do not end the conversation until the person at the emergency call centre asks you to.
Children and pets
•Keep your smartphone, chargers and accessories out of the reach of children and pets. Children and/or
pets can swallow the small parts, posing a risk of suffocation and other hazards. A child may only use your
smartphone under the supervision of an adult.
Long periods of use
•Playing games or surfing on your smartphone for long periods may mean assuming an unhealthy body
posture. Take a 15 minute break every hour. If you feel unwell having used the phone for a long period,
take a break - and consult a doctor if your condition persists.
Aeroplanes, vehicles and road safety
•Switch off your smartphone in aeroplanes.
Please observe applicable restrictions and regulations. Wireless devices can interfere with the function of
aeronautical equipment. Follow the instructions issued by flight personnel when using your smartphone.
•The absolute priority for every vehicle driver and everyone in a vehicle is safety on the roads and for road
users. Using your smartphone whilst driving can be distracting and therefore lead to dangerous situations.
You may also be violating applicable laws.
SIM card, memory card and data connector cable
•Do not remove the card from your smartphone whilst data is being sent or received, as this presents a risk
of data loss and damage to your smartphone or memory card.
•Charges might apply when establishing Internet connections via the SIM card.

Defective devices
•The installation and repair of products are the sole preserves of qualified maintenance personnel. Please
contact a Gigaset Service Centre.
•Dispose of faulty devices carefully or have them repaired by our Customer Service team. These devices
could interfere with other wireless services.
•Careless handling of your smartphone, such as dropping it, can shatter the display and damage the elec-
tronic circuitry and sensitive parts inside.
•Do not use your smartphone if the device is cracked or shattered. Fragments of glass or plastic can injure
hands and face.
Other important information
•Never point the flash light directly at the eyes of people or animals. Pointing a flash light too near to human
eyes poses a risk of temporary loss of eyesight or impairment of vision.
•Your smartphone can heat up when running power-intensive apps or programs for longer periods. This is
normal and has no bearing on the performance of your smartphone.
•When your smartphone warms up, please put it aside and stop the program you were running. Coming
into contact with a hot smartphone can cause minor skin irritations such as redness.
•Do not paint or lacquer your smartphone. Lacquer and paint can damage the parts of your smartphone
and may cause malfunction.

Questions and answers (FAQ)
This section contains answers to frequently asked questions about your smartphone and
describes how to solve problems.
If none of the answers help you rectify the problem, please contact a Gigaset Service Centre.
Why won't my smartphone switch on?
Your smartphone battery is not inserted. Insert the battery ( p. 11).
Your smartphone battery is not charged enough or has run out of charge completely. If the
battery charge falls below a minimum level, your smartphone switches off automatically.
Recharge the battery.
Why does the battery run out so fast or why isn’t it charging?
Charge the battery for at least 2 hours. Please note that the battery may only reach its full
capacity after multiple charging sessions.
Why doesn’t my SIM card fit in the slots?
Your smartphone supports the nano SIM format. If your SIM card is a different format (for
example, micro SIM), contact your mobile network operator and swap your SIM card for a nano
SIM.
Why does the status bar show little or no mobile signal?
If you're somewhere with poor network coverage, you won't be able to get a good signal. If no
mobile signal is found, there may be no network coverage, the SIM card may not be inserted
properly or there may be no active mobile network contract. Go somewhere with better network
coverage, check that the SIM card in your smartphone is inserted correctly or contact your
mobile network operator.
Why isn't the touchscreen reacting anymore when I type?
Your smartphone’s operating system might have crashed. Reboot your smartphone ( p. 94).
Why can I barely hear the person I'm talking to or they're breaking up?
If the person you're talking to is too quiet, increase the volume with the volume + button. If the
person you're talking to is hard to understand, it could be down to bad mobile signal at your end
or theirs. Check the mobile signal in the status bar and move somewhere with better network
coverage if necessary.
Where can I find a certain smartphone setting?
Your smartphone has a helpful search function:
Settings Enter the search term at the top in the search bar

About radiation
Information on SAR certification (specific absorption rate)
THIS DEVICE SATISFIES THE INTERNATIONAL DIRECTIVES FOR EXPOSURE BY RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device has been developed so as not to exceed internationally recommended exposure thresh-
olds for radio waves.
These directives have been specified by an independent scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include a high
margin of safety which should guarantee the safety of all regardless of age and state of health. The directives
on exposure to radio waves use a unit called the specific absorption rate (SAR).
The SAR threshold for mobile devices:
The highest SAR values in the ICNIRP Directives for this device model:
The SAR values for wearing on the body are determined at a distance of 5 mm. To comply with the HF exposure
directives for wearing on the body, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body.
