The FRITZ!Fon C6 is a cordless DECT telephone from the manufacturer FRITZ! GmbH, designed as a mobile unit for use with FRITZ!Box models featuring an integrated DECT base station. It serves as a comfortable communication device for private and small business environments, offering not only telephony but also access to internet services and control of smart home functions. The device features a white, ergonomically shaped enclosure and is intended for use on a desk or table. It provides clear user guidance through a high-resolution color display and an illuminated keypad, enabling operation even in poor lighting conditions.

Applications

The FRITZ!Fon C6 is suitable for use in apartments, offices, or small businesses where a wireless telephone connection with high comfort and integrated additional functions is required. It is particularly suitable for users who want to combine telephony, internet services, and smart home applications. The wireless range extends up to 40 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, allowing flexible use in larger apartments or on the property. The connection is established via DECT technology, ensuring secure and noise-free transmission.

Functions and Features in Detail

The device offers HD telephony, which enables clearer and more natural sound quality by transmitting the full frequency range of the human voice. The speakerphone operates in full-duplex mode, allowing simultaneous speaking and listening. The phonebook can store up to 300 entries, with an online phonebook also available. Caller ID displays the calling number and, if available, the caller’s name. An integrated answering machine with menu control and remote retrieval allows recording and playback of messages. The baby monitor function triggers a call to a pre-defined number if the noise level exceeds a preset threshold. The microphone mute function allows deactivating the microphone during a call.

The keypad is illuminated, facilitating operation in the dark. A brightness sensor automatically adjusts the display and keypad brightness according to ambient lighting to save energy. A motion sensor detects when the device is picked up and wakes it from standby mode. Power is supplied by an integrated lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1000 mAh. The battery charging time is 6 hours, talk time up to 16 hours, and standby time up to 288 hours (12 days). The battery technology is Li-Ion, providing high energy density and long lifespan.
