Structure:
The structure is slightly out of hand. Place the unit and connecting the cables is easy. The power supply on the connector is small and disappears even in the smallest niche. Now the handset only needs to be loaded.
Style:
Very chic, black glossy design. The unit fits comfortably in your hand and is very light. The surfaces of keyboard and housing pleasant to touch.
Operation:
Simple and intuitive to use, because you need almost no manual. Language, time and date completed. The display is easy to read by the example text on a dark background. Unfortunately, the line length of 14 characters is kept somewhat scarce.
Unfortunately, the included user manual is very small and the additional notes are difficult to read.
The phonebook allows for up to 100 entries.
Voice quality:
The voice quality was optimized by Philips (HQ Sound) and is clearly understood even in quieter transmission.
Features:
The main argument for the purchase was the ECO + mode. Low radiation during operation or radiation free in standby. The equipment with voicemail, speakerphone with remote access, baby call, alarm clock, call log, etc. is extensive.
Slightly lean are the ringtones, here you can only select from 10 different melodies.
The answering machine is easy to use and clearly understood. The recording capacity is very long with 45min. In search of calls you can make the time and date to display on the handset. At the station, this is unfortunately not possible.
Conclusion / Total (4 to 5 stars):
The Philips CD4961 is very extensively equipped and can be operated, the voice is transmitted clearly and easily understood. From an ecological perspective was intended by the thrifty power consumption and low-radiation operation and minimalist packaging at all. With small reductions in the current ring tones, a very recommendable phone with good price / performance ratio.
