Gigaset SL780/SL785 – more than just a telephone
Gigaset SL780/SL785 – more than just a telephone
Your telephone sets new standards for the way you communicate at home.
The configuration and user interface of the cordless phone are unique, providing
you with first-class voice quality in speaker 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 Synchronise 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 ring tone.
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 programme the keys of your phone with important numbers or fre-
quently used functions. The number is then dialled or the function started by
simply pressing a key.
u Gigaset Green Home – Be environmentally aware when using your phone.
