Wireless phone Gigaset A690 Duo black

Gigaset Cordless Phone
A690 Duo

Gigaset A690 Duo cordless phone is a set with two handsets that combines convenient everyday calling with a wide range of features. It is equipped with a high-contrast 2" monochrome display, hands-free mode, a phonebook for 100 entries, and a high-quality backlit keypad. A blacklist for 32 numbers and muting of anonymous calls also help manage unwanted calls.

Clear display and convenient keypad

The handsets are equipped with a backlit, monochrome 2" (5.1 cm) graphic display with a resolution of 96 × 64 pixels. In standby mode, it shows the date and time, signal strength, battery charge level, and display function keys, while during a call it shows the call duration. Enlarged font improves readability. The high-quality ergonomic keypad with large buttons ensures convenient operation: it includes 12 numeric buttons, 2 display keys, and a 4-way navigation key. The call answer / hands-free mode button lights up green, while the call end and message buttons light up red.

Sound quality

Hands-free mode provides excellent sound quality, while two hands-free profiles allow for optimal audibility. Handset and hands-free volume can be adjusted across 5 levels, and the ringtone is played through the hands-free speaker. The phone also indicates a low battery with a warning tone and provides acoustic confirmation when buttons are pressed.

Phonebook and convenient call management

The phonebook for 100 entries lets you conveniently save contacts. A number can be corrected before placing a call, while numeric buttons 2–9 can be programmed for speed dialing. Caller identification (CLIP / CNIP) works for incoming calls and call lists. The list includes the 25 most recent missed calls with the number or name and time, and numbers can be dialed directly from the call list. A blacklist for 32 numbers helps reduce unwanted calls, while calls from hidden numbers are indicated only visually. In day / night mode, the ringtone melody can be temporarily muted. An incoming call is indicated by an animation on the display and illumination of the “green handset” button.

The multi-handset set offers free internal calls, 2 simultaneous calls (1 external and 1 internal), phonebook transfer between handsets, internal calling to all handsets or a selected handset, and call transfer to another handset. A 3-way conference is also available (1 external and 2 internal participants), while incoming external calls are signaled on all handsets.

Thanks to the Plug & Play function, installation is easy: unpack, connect, and start talking. The intuitive, modern interface with a convenient main menu (one icon per screen and contextual display keys) is available in several languages. The phone also offers an alarm clock with a selectable melody, while settings, the phonebook, call lists, date, and time are protected in the event of a power failure. It also supports ECO DECT, meaning automatic reduction of transmission power depending on the distance between the base station and the handset, as well as no radiation in standby mode for all registered handsets, provided they support ECO DECT mode.
