Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home.
The configuration and user interface of the cordless phone are unique, provid-
ing you with first-class voice quality in handsfree mode, while the various ports
(Bluetooth, USB) offer you high flexibility.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad, and clearly laid out menu are very
simple to use.
It can do a whole lot more:
u You can use Bluetooth™ for wireless communication with other devices
(e.g., headsets) that also use this technology.
u Synchronize your address books on your telephone, mobile phone, and PC
with Bluetooth
u You can save appointments and anniversaries in your phone, and it will
remind you of them in advance.
u You can designate important people as VIPs so you can identify important
calls from the ringer.
u If you do not wish to be disturbed, you can simply set up a time control
so that your phone will only ring when it is convenient. VIP calls will still be
connected.
u You can program the keys of your phone with important numbers or fre-
quently used functions. The number is then dialed or the function started
by simply pressing a key.
