Cordless phone Gigaset E390 — DECT technology, white, long battery life

Gigaset E390 is a cordless DECT phone designed for clear readability and adjustable sound. It features a large 58 mm (2.2") color TFT display with a magnifier function, an SOS emergency call feature for up to four numbers, two acoustic profiles to suit different hearing needs, and a phonebook for up to 200 contacts. The phone supports ECO DECT operation for reduced radiation and is compatible with standard analog and GAP DECT systems.

Advantages

The large high-contrast color display improves legibility by enlarging selected names and highlighting them on an orange background; long names automatically scroll. Digits entered during dialing appear especially large on the colored background, and the backlight ensures good visibility in low light. Two acoustic profiles emphasize either high or low frequency ranges to adapt to changing hearing sensitivity. Volume can be adjusted in five stages and increased instantly with an "extra loud" button; the set volume returns to a predefined level after use. The phone also offers hands-free features, call blocking options and internal DECT transfers between handsets.

How to use

Charge the handset before first use and register it to the base station according to the supplied instructions. Use the navigation key to access the phonebook, settings and acoustic profiles. Select one of the two acoustic profiles to emphasize high or low frequencies depending on hearing preference. Adjust the volume in five steps during a call or use the dedicated "extra loud" button for an immediate boost; the phone will revert to the preset volume on next use. Use SOS to call up to four predefined numbers in an emergency. For baby monitoring, enable internal or external room monitoring and pair a second handset if internal monitoring is required.

Recommendations

For best readability and sound performance, keep the display backlight enabled and test both acoustic profiles to determine which suits your hearing. Register a second handset if you plan to use the internal baby monitoring feature. Ensure batteries are NiMH AAA replacements when needed.
