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.

Pay attention to the range of the base. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed out­door areas and up to 50 m inside buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
u Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or
other electrical devices.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
