Bluetooth® wireless technology
When you think Bluetooth®, you naturally think wireless. But what exactly are the wireless conveniences you can enjoy with your home telephone? There’s the freedom of talking with a wireless headset, of course, but there’s also something even better – a quick and easy way to transfer vCard contacts to or from your cellphone and PDA with Bluetooth® technology. If you have Microsoft® Outlook®, you can even synchronize the data on your PC with your handset using our free Gigaset QuickSync software. And of course this wireless technology also lets you download screensavers and Picture CLIP¹ images.

Integrated answering machine
You’ll never miss another important call thanks to this phone’s integrated answering machine featuring up to 30 minutes of recording time. New messages are displayed on the phone’s handset, so you’ll know someone tried to reach you even if you’re away from the base station. You can also easily keep track of who called and when because the Gigaset S685 IP announces the date and time of new messages by voice. For added convenience you can operate the machine via the handset, so you can check up on new messages from wherever you are in your house. If you’re away from home this phone will even alert you when you receive a new message via SMS¹. When that happens, you can use the remote playback function to access that message no matter where you are.

Advanced messaging features
The Gigaset S685 IP makes it easy to stay connected with friends and family trying to reach you. Thanks to its handy e-mail notification feature you’ll receive a message on the color display letting you know the time, date and subject of any new e-mails you receive – without having to access your e-mail account.

VoIP calling with High Definition Sound Performance (CAT-iq certified)
Experience even greater calling clarity when you make a VoIP call over the internet. The Gigaset S685 IP supports High Definition Sound Performance. This superior wideband audio quality lets you hear every inflection in the other person’s voice when they speak. Gigaset HDSP phones are compliant with the new CAT-iq vb standard. This ensures that you can call anyone who also has a CAT-iq certified phone via your broadband connection, and enjoy conversations in twice the quality of a normal phone call¹.

Next Generation online phonebook and info screensaver
Explore the world around you from the comfort of your own phone. The Gigaset S685 IP lets you enjoy free access to an online phonebook directly from your handset¹. That means you can quickly find any number you need (Chinese take-away, auto repair shop …) and call straight away. Plus, the free info services available through Gigaset.net Info Center put weather forecasts and RSS feeds from your favorite websites right onto your handset via the info screensaver. That’s what we mean by Next Generation communication convenience.

Save energy with ECO DECT
Thanks to an energy-saving power supply, ECO DECT phones use up to 60% less energy than our conventional cordless phones. Like all Gigaset cordless phones, ECO DECT models also variably reduce transmitting power from the handset to base station according to their distance apart – but go further in a number of other ways. Choosing ECO Mode on selected models reduces the base station's transmission power by 80%². When docked³, some ECO DECT phones also reduce the transmitting power of both handset and base station to almost zero.

The Gigaset S685 IP with High Definition Sound Performance offers you all the advantages of dual-mode telephony and Bluetooth® – plus the added benefit of an integrated answering machine. Phoning over the internet has never been more stylish.
