Easy calling. Secure connection.
The Gigaset EASY 500HX is an accessible cordless handset designed for internet telephony and IP-based connections. Developed specifically for seniors and users with special requirements, it combines large keys, clear menu navigation and supportive voice features. Functions such as the manual SOS call, talking dial keys and personalized caller announcements make everyday use noticeably easier. The extra-loud button and visual call alert further enhance reliable accessibility at home. For greater safety, more comfort and independent communication – now also with modern DECT routers.
For internet telephony and flexible connections
The Gigaset EASY 500HX is a universal handset that connects directly to DECT-enabled routers. A separate base station is not required. This makes it ideal for modern IP-based telephone connections.
The Gigaset EASY 500HX is compatible with:
- DECT/GAP routers, e.g. AVM FRITZ!Box
- Routers with DECT CAT-iq 2.0/2.1, e.g. Telekom Speedport, TP-LINK Archer or o2 HomeBox
It can also be registered with:
- Gigaset DECT base stations
- DECT/GAP base stations from other manufacturers
This allows you to expand an existing phone system easily.
Important:
The Gigaset EASY 500HX is supplied without its own base station and is intended for operation with DECT routers or existing base units.Fast help in an emergency
Safety is a top priority with the Gigaset EASY 500HX. Using the easily accessible SOS button, you can call up to four stored contact or emergency numbers at the touch of a button. The handset automatically dials them one after another in hands-free mode until a connection is established. This enables quick assistance without navigating menus or manually dialing numbers.
The security call function provides additional protection. Authorized persons, such as family members, can connect to the handset after entering a PIN and completing double authentication. In an emergency, they can listen into the room and communicate directly via hands-free mode.
Features that provide reassurance for both users and their loved ones.
Dial safely and recognize callers instantly
The talking dial keys provide acoustic confirmation of each number entered, helping to prevent dialing errors. This makes operation significantly easier, especially when the display is not the main focus. You can also record personalized voice announcements for contacts. The handset announces incoming callers with your own recorded message, so you immediately know who is calling – even without looking at the display. These features support safe and accessible use, even with reduced eyesight.
Everything clearly visible at a glance
The large 2.2-inch color display of the handset delivers clear, high-contrast presentation. Names, numbers and menus are well structured and easy to read. Jumbo mode and the integrated magnifier function enlarge text and content as needed. The display brightness can also be adjusted in several levels to ensure optimal readability in any environment. This helps you stay in control, even with impaired vision.
Loud, clear and easy to notice
The conveniently positioned extra-loud button instantly increases call volume without navigating through menus. Hearing aid compatibility (HAC) supports interference-free use with hearing aids on your home phone system.
A visual call alert with a flashing indicator additionally signals incoming calls. In hands-free mode, you can talk comfortably with both hands free while maintaining consistently high voice quality. This combination of acoustic and visual signals supports convenient use, even with hearing impairment or in noisy surroundings.
Quick access to important contacts
Three direct dial keys (A, B and C) provide fast access to your most important contacts. An integrated phonebook stores up to 200 entries with multiple numbers per contact. Family members, friends or neighbors are always just a few simple steps away.
Simple operation without complications
The Gigaset EASY 500HX is consistently designed for accessible and intuitive operation. Large, ergonomic keys and an intuitive 2-way navigation key make everyday use straightforward. The simplified menu focuses on the essential functions only.
Installation and contact entry assistants guide you step by step through initial setup and storing contacts – clearly structured and easy to follow, without technical barriers.
Cordless and radiation-free: environmentally conscious technology
Cordless phones are practical – and Gigaset cordless phones are also energy-conscious. The Gigaset EASY 500 series features ECO DECT technology. In idle mode, the phones are radiation-free when all registered handsets support ECO DECT. During a call, transmission power automatically adjusts to the distance between handset and base. The shorter the distance, the lower the radiation. If maximum DECT range is required, ECO DECT mode can be deactivated at any time.
