Advantages

A large, illuminated black-and-white graphic display and an ergonomic, backlit keypad make operation straightforward. Call management features include a blacklist for up to 32 numbers, anonymous call blocking, scheduled do-not-disturb periods and a VIP list that bypasses silence modes. The built-in answering machine stores up to 20 minutes of messages, which remain saved during power outages, and messages can be accessed from the handset, the base or remotely.

How to use

Place the base station on a desk or mount it on the wall and charge the handset before first use. Register the handset to the base if additional handsets are added. Use the numeric keys and the illuminated display to dial numbers, or select entries from the built-in phonebook. Switch between handset and hands-free modes during a call using the designated speakerphone key. Access the answering machine from the handset or base to listen to, delete or record outgoing messages; remote access is available if configured.

Recommendations

For best audio quality and reduced radiation, keep the handset close to the base during calls when possible and enable ECO DECT. Add important contacts to the VIP list to ensure calls come through during do-not-disturb periods, and regularly copy unwanted numbers from the call list to the blacklist to reduce interruptions.
