Your Gigaset can do a lot more than just make calls:
Directory for up to 250 entries
Save phone numbers and names to the directory (¢ page 26). You can designate important
entries as VIPs (Very Important Persons). VIP calls are then recognized by their ringer and their
color in the directory (¢ page 27).
If you don't (always) want it to ring
Use time control for calls (¢ page 33) or ensure that all calls from a withheld number are not
signalled (¢ page 34).
Other practical information
Transfer the directory from an existing Gigaset handset (¢ page 27), use the shortcut function (¢ page 27) and adjust the color and contrast of the display to your requirements
(¢ page 32).
