Gigaset S790/S795 – more than just a telephone

Gigaset S790/S795 – 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 excellent, providing you
with first-class voice quality in speaker mode, while the USB port offers you enor-
mous flexibility.
The large TFT display, user-friendly keypad and clearly laid out menu are very sim-
ple to use.
Your phone can do a whole lot more:
uYou can synchronise the directories on your telephone, mobile phone and PC via
the USB port using the Gigaset QuickSync software (¢page 63).
uYou can save appointments (¢page 44) and anniversaries, e.g., birthdays
(¢page 34), in your phone and it will remind you of them in advance.
uYou can designate important people as VIPs to identify important calls from the
ringtone (¢page 32).
uYou can assign a picture to entries in the directory – in the future the picture will
appear every time you receive a call from this number (¢page 32).
uIf you do not want to take calls where the caller has withheld their number, just
set your handset to only ring if Calling Line Identification (CID) has not been
blocked (¢page 55).
uIf 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 (¢page 55). VIP calls are still
connected during this time.
uYou can assign important numbers to the number keys on your phone. The
number is then dialed by simply pressing a key (¢page 52).
uAdapt your Gigaset to suit your handsfree requirements (¢page 54).
uView your personal pictures as a screensaver slide show (¢page 53).
uYou can set the display to large font to increase readability in particularly impor-
tant situations (e.g. the directory and lists) (¢page 53).
uYou can adapt the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only
the most important functions (standard mode) or all functions
(expert mode •) display (¢page 26). Menu options that are only available in
expert mode are marked with the •icon.
uGigaset Green Home — Be environmentally aware when using your phone.
