Note

•

Make sure that all the handsets registered to the base

station are M888 in order to have the

ECO+

feature

functioning properly.

•

When

ECO+

is activated, the standby time is reduced.

This is because in

ECO+

mode the base station is not

transmitting any signal in standby mode; therefore the

handset needs to “listen” more frequently for signals

from the base station to detect incoming calls or other

requests from the base station. The time it takes for the

handset to access features like call setup, call log, paging,

and phonebook browsing is also delayed. The handset

will not alert you to link loss in case of power loss or

moving out of range.

The following table shows you the current

status of the handset screen with different

ECO

mode and

ECO+

mode settings.
