You also can be confident that the Gigaset A280 is an environmentally friendly choice in telephony because we’ve equipped it with Eco Mode Plus. What else does a basic cordless phone need?

Making things clear: the large illuminated graphic display

The new A280 comes with a large amber-colored display that offers all the information you need at a glance. The dotmatrix display provides optimal readability and is also illuminated. So you have everything in view – anytime. You’ll see: Checking your phonebook or your call list has  never been so easy.

That simplifies everything: easy handling and talking freedom

Good for you and your nerves. To make sure that you’re not wasting your time, the Gigaset A280 is designed to make the calling process as quick as possible. It can be used as soon as you get it home – just plug & play. With the sensitive pressure points the handling is very comfortable, too. That makes it much easier to read and navigate. And even if you’re busy but need to answer the phone anyway – simply press the hands-free key to enjoy the flexibility of hands-free talking. You can literally enjoy that feature for hours, because the long talk-time of 18 hours allows conversations that last as long as you want.

Convenient data storage: reach friends and family in seconds

Gather all your phone numbers in one place: Simply use the cordless phone Gigaset A280’s phonebook with up to 80 entries to keep in touch with your nearest and dearest. And to make things even easier, the call list logs the phone numbers of the 25 most recent incoming or missed calls and the 10 most recent outgoing calls. That’s just perfect for calling back – or picking up an interrupted phone call again.

Built to serve: practical information you need throughout the day

The analog phone Gigaset A280 is a perfectly reliable device for all the basic information. Its caller ID function immediately tells you who’s calling when the phone rings. The Gigaset A280 also indicates the date and call duration and features a convenient alarm function.

Green light for the environment: radiation-free calls with ECO DECT

Like all Gigaset cordless telephones, the Gigaset A280 is equipped with the environmentally friendly ECO DECT technology. This means that the telephones are radiation-free in standby mode, even if you have several handsets, as long as the base station and all registered handsets also support ECO DECT. During a phone call, the transmitting power is automatically adjusted to the distance between the base station and the handset. The shorter the distance to the base station, the lower the radiation. For the maximum DECT range, the ECO DECT mode can be deactivated at any time.
