The device features a large, illuminated black-and-white graphic display with strong contrast for improved readability, complemented by an ergonomic keypad with illuminated keys for intuitive operation. Call management includes a blacklist function supporting up to 32 numbers to block unwanted calls, with options to reject calls or display them silently, along with settings for blocking anonymous calls and time-based ringing control. Communication capabilities include up to 14 hours of talk time and 180 hours of standby time, with a built-in phonebook for 100 contacts and automatic logging of the last 25 calls with timestamps. A built-in digital answering machine function offers up to 20 minutes of message storage, with playback options via handset, base station, or remote access, and retains messages during power outages, along with customizable greeting texts and recording length settings. The system supports expansion with up to four compatible handsets for multi-room placement and integrates ECO DECT technology for reduced radiation exposure in standby mode and adaptive transmission power during calls based on the distance between the handset and base station, with an option to disable ECO mode for maximum DECT range.
