To set call protection, open the call protection menu to add numbers to the blacklist, enable anonymous call blocking or configure time-controlled ringing. For hands-free calls, connect a headset or use the integrated speakerphone. If using the COMFORT 500A, configure the answering machine, set recording length, and record a personal greeting via handset or base.

Recommendations

Place the base station centrally in your home to maximise DECT range, keep ECO DECT enabled to reduce transmission power in standby and during short-distance calls, register additional handsets where needed for mobility, and regularly back up important contacts or export them between handsets.
