Highlights
Cordless telephone
Full graphic display
This type of displays makes it easier to use
your phone, thanks to the good quality and
legibility of the characters. It also gives you
more freedom in communication from your
home. Now you can combine text with images
or numbers, when sending an SMS for example.
Backlight on screen
Backlighting is a feature that illuminates the
LCD screen or keypad for use in the dark. The
two most common types of backlighting
include LED and electroluminescent (EL).
Remotes backlit with LEDs are typically bright
but uneven with a yellow or green color, while
EL panels are smooth with blue, white or green
shades.
Text messaging (SMS)
The Short Message Service (SMS) is a
mechanism for delivery of short messages
which can have up to 160 characters of text.
These 160 characters are plain text in nature
and can be comprised of words, numbers or an
alphanumeric combination. The
Eatoni®LetterWise predictive text editor
helps you to write text messages more quickly.
With its unique SMS system you can receive up
to 200 messages in 10 different mailboxes.
Greeting to a loved one, a quick reminder
about an important meeting, …all this can now
be put in a SMS and sent over the fixed
network.
Eatoni text editor
Eatoni's LetterWise is an easy-to-use text-
entry solution requiring just 1.16 taps per
correct letter. It makes typing on phone
keypads as comfortable, fast, and accurate as
using a typewriter keyboard. It is unique among
predictive text entry solutions in its ability to
easily handle the entry of abbreviations, names,
addresses, and URLs.
Personal mail boxes
Children at a certain age need some privacy at
home when sending SMS to their friends. But
paying for several mobile phones quickly gets
very expensive. DECT phones provide up to 9
personal SMS mail boxes which can be
protected by a PIN code - SMS can stay private
despite collective phone usage. The user must
tell his correspondents his mail box number so
that they can send short messages directly to
this personal mail box. Sending a SMS from a
personal mailbox makes it easy for the
addressee to reply directly to this mailbox
without having to remember the mailbox
number.

Keypad lock
How convenient it is to take your DECT
phone with you whilst gardening. But in your
pocket it can be so jolted that a key might be
accidently pressed. To prevent inadvertently
calling your cousin in the US, the keypad lock
is a safe way to avoid bad surprises on your
next phone bill!
Pilot key & carousel menu
The pilot key navigation system allows easy
navigation and settings. The pilot key is a roller
on the left side of the phone that can be
scrolled up and down and pressed in the
middle. It commands the Carousel menu which
is a circular loop of menu icons displayed on
the screen.
Do-not-disturb function
Tired of your children’s friends calling just
when you’re about to serve dinner? The “Do-
not-Disturb” function lets you screen
unwanted calls and mute the ringer when you
do not wish to be disturbed, but keeps the line
open to the family.
Conference call function
Thanks to the conference call, there is no need
to travel to meet people. Especially useful in a
professional environment where several work
stations are connected to the same base
station, the conference call allows, for
example, two colleagues from Paris to
communicate with a colleague in China. A
conference call allows two handsets to share
the same external phone conversation in such
a manner that each handset is able to
communicate with the two others.
Free intercom
No need to stop what you are doing and go to
give the handset to your son when his friend
calls: you can freely and easily call the handset
in his bedroom and transfer the call.
Baby-sit function
Worried about your baby not sleeping? No
need to constantly go and check in his
bedroom. The baby-sit mode allows you to
keep an ear on him wherever you are in the
house.
