Analog/DECT telephone Gigaset COMFORT 500HX

The Gigaset COMFORT 500HX is an analog/DECT cordless handset designed for use with DECT-enabled internet routers or telephone base stations. It features a 2.2" high-contrast TFT colour display (44 x 35 mm), headset connection, integrated speakerphone with HD Voice quality, and a phonebook for up to 200 contacts. The handset connects directly to the DECT base of your router, eliminating the need for a separate base station while offering compatibility with DECT/CAT-iq routers such as FRITZ!Box and Telekom Speedport. Available in silver and black, the single-handset model is suitable for home and office environments.

Advantages

The COMFORT 500HX combines ergonomic design and German build quality with IP telephony benefits: clear HD audio, support for multiple phone numbers per connection, and the ability to handle concurrent calls. Its large, easy-to-read display, illuminated keypad and jumbo digit mode simplify everyday use. Additional features include comfort call protection (blacklist, anonymous call blocking, time control), hearing-aid compatibility, ECO DECT energy- and radiation-reducing mode, and personalised settings such as display backgrounds, screensavers and individual ringtones.

How to use

Charge the handset in its cradle connected to a power socket and register it to your DECT-enabled router's base (follow your router's DECT registration procedure). Use the large TFT display and navigation keys to access the phonebook, call lists and settings. Assign numbers to speed-dial keys or VIP entries for quick access. To make hands-free calls, connect a headset to the headset jack or use the integrated speakerphone. Block unwanted numbers by adding them to the blacklist or transfer them from the call history. Activate ECO DECT or change acoustic profiles and display settings in the handset menu as required.

Recommendations

For best audio quality and lowest radiation during calls, keep the handset close to your router or base and enable ECO DECT when full range is not required. Register the handset to your router for IP telephony features and, if needed, connect additional COMFORT 500HX handsets to the same base or to a compatible telephone base station to expand your system.
