All you have to do is connecting the phone on the electrical outlet and turning it on to make it functional.<\/p>\n<p>The E550 Gigaset has an illuminated panorama colourised display (1.8\u201d) with extra-large digits which guarantees an optimal use even for eyeglass wearers.

Furthermore, the hand-free function is compatible with hearing aid devices. If necessary, the user can increase the phone volume thanks to the \u201cAudio Boost\u201d key.<\/p>\n<p>The E550 Gigaset has an important autonomy; indeed, the phone can stay 320 hours on standby mode and 14 hours in communication.
