Gigaset E720

Much more than a typical caller blacklist: With the Gigaset E720, you can select green illumination of the display for known callers and recognize trusted callers at a glance. All you need to do is save these trusted contacts in the handset directory and activate the item “Serious callers” in the Accessibility menu.

You can also choose stricter call protection by defining a whitelist that accepts calls only from familiar contacts.

One of the special features of the Gigaset E720 family is the direct dial function for emergencies: You can specify up to 15 numbers that are put through automatically when a call is made. (PIN-protected). You can talk to the caller using the hands-free function on your handset without having to accept the call.

In some situations, it can’t be loud enough. You already have a choice of five different levels for the speaker volume. If that’s not enough, you can easily double the speaker volume by pressing the Boost key on the right of the handset – this works only for the duration of the call in progress to avoid startling the next person making a call. As is familiar from many other Gigaset phones, the Gigaset E720 offers two acoustic profiles that enable the enhancement of low or high frequencies to match your personal hearing abilities.

You can assign especially important numbers to the four direct dial keys and dial them directly by pressing a single key. An SOS function for use in emergencies can also be assigned to direct dial key A. Up to four SOS numbers can be assigned to this key for calling important contacts such as relatives or neighbors.

This is how the emergency call function works:

1. After activation of the SOS function (direct dial key A), all four assigned numbers are called in succession. This is repeated up to three times until one of the contacts answers the call.

2. The person receiving the call hears the emergency call message: – either a standard message or a message recorded by you (E560A only).

3. When the participant called presses key 5, the two parties can speak to each other.

Even if you miss a call, you still receive the message with the Gigaset E720A. It has an integrated digital answering machine with up to 30 minutes of recording time. You can listen to the message conveniently via the base station, and also via the handset or via secure remote retrieval from anywhere. What's also good is that you have up to 170 seconds for your individual answer message. And if the power should ever go out at home, the recordings are still saved.

Like all the Gigaset cordless telephones, the E720 is also fitted with environmentally friendly ECO DECT technology. The telephones are radiation-free in standby mode, even if more than one mobile unit is being used, as long as the base and all the registered mobile units support ECO DECT. During a call, the transmission power automatically adapts to the distance between the base and the mobile unit. The shorter the distance from the base, the lower the radiation. For maximum DECT range, you can deactivate the ECO DECT mode at any time.
