Analog/DECT telephone Gigaset AS690 Caller ID Wireless handset Black

The Gigaset AS690 is a DECT cordless phone designed for everyday communication with clear audio and practical features. It offers both handset and hands-free calling, an illuminated black-and-white graphic display for easy reading, an ergonomic keypad, and an integrated phone book. The AS690A variant includes a digital answering machine with up to 20 minutes of recording time. ECO DECT technology reduces radiation in standby and adapts transmission power during calls.

Advantages

The phone provides excellent voice quality and two selectable hands-free sound profiles to adjust higher or lower frequencies for comfortable listening. The large, high-contrast display and illuminated keys improve readability and usability. You can add up to 100 contacts in the phone book and review the last 25 call entries. Power management delivers up to 14 hours of talk time and up to 180 hours of standby. The blacklist and anonymous-call blocking let you suppress unwanted calls, and the device can be expanded with up to four compatible handsets.

Place additional compatible handsets around the home to ensure coverage in different rooms and enable ECO DECT on supported bases and handsets to minimise radiation in standby. Disable ECO DECT only if you require maximum range during calls.
