Reliable quality for daily communication.Sounds just good - a DECT telephone with the best audio possibilitiesYou have the choice: Whether you prefer to make calls directly via handset or in hands-free mode - this gives you the freedom to do something else and other people can also listen in and speak. Or which of the two hands-free profiles you prefer to use: Adjust the emphasis on higher or lower frequencies so that it is comfortable for you. Whatever you choose, you can count on perfect voice quality!Clear, ergonomic, intuitive - making calls is as comfortable as possibleWhat catches the eye on the Gigaset AS690 is probably the large, illuminated black and white graphics display. This has many advantages: The strong contrast of white writing on a black background or the large number display in dial mode deliberately aim to make operation even easier for you. In addition, an ergonomic keyboard with illuminated keys and intuitive handling provides for high comfort while telephoning.Even switch off once - thanks to protection against unwanted callsIf you do not want to make a call, you can ignore certain numbers or anonymous callers: When the blocked list is activated, calls of up to 32 numbers contained in it are not signaled or only signaled in the display. You can enter unwanted telephone numbers manually in the blocked list or transfer them from the call list. Even for anonymous calls without calling line identification, you can avoid ringing and additionally determine via time control when the handset may ring – and when not.Stay in touch with built-in phone book and long talk timeThe Gigaset AS690 makes communication easy: For example, with 14 hours of talk time, you always have the certainty of being able to talk to your contacts at any time. The phone book of the device holds up to 100 names and numbers and the last 25 calls with number and time are automatically listed. In addition, you can always be reached at 180 hours standby time.Always quite environment-friendly - and radiation-free thanks to ECO DECTLike all Gigaset cordless phones, the Gigaset AS690 series is equipped with the environment-friendly ECO DECT technology. This means that the telephones are radiation-free in standby mode; and this also in case of operation of several handsets, if the base station and all registered handsets also support ECO DECT. During a call, the transmission power automatically adjusts to the distance between the base and handset. The smaller the distance to the base, the lower the radiation. For maximum DECT range, the ECO DECT mode can be deactivated at any time.Never miss a call - the Gigaset AS690A with integrated digital answering machineAre you on the road and can't go to the phone yourself? Simply trust your answering machine. With up to 20 minutes of recording time, messages are stored and you decide yourself when you can comfortably listen to them via the handset, the base station or via remote access. Even in the event of a power failure, your recordings are still saved. Record an individual announcement and set the recording length - in this way you can configure the answering machine according to your wishes.This text is machine translated.
