Gigaset C59H – more than just a telephone

Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home. The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very

simple to use.

Your telephone can do a whole lot more:

u Store anniversaries such as birthdays in your phone and i t will remind y ou of

them in advance.

u Assign important people to one of six VIP groups so you can identify impor-

tant calls from the ringtone and the colour of the assigned VIP group.

to only ring when the phone number is transmitted.

u You can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone

(quick dial). The number is then dialled by simply pressing the key.

u Set the display to large print to increase readability in particularly important

screens (e.g., the directory and lists).

u Set the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only the

most important functions (standard mode) or all functions are displayed (expert mode).

u Gigaset Green Home — be environmentally aware when using your phone.
