ECO DECT:
Reducing energy
consumption and
radiation
You are helping to protect the environment
with your Gigaset phone.
Reduced energy consumption
Your base has a power-saving adapter plug
and uses less power.
Reducing radiation
The radiation reduces
automatically
depending on the distance of the registered
handsets to the base. The closer the hand-
sets are to the base, the lower the radiation.
You can reduce the radiation from the
handsets and the base even more by using
Eco Mode
.
Eco Mode
reduces radiation by 80% –
whether you are making a call or not.
Eco Mode
reduces the range by approx.
50%. Using
Eco Mode
always makes sense
when a reduced range is sufficient.
Switching off radiation
Eco Mode+
When you activate
Eco Mode+,
the radiation
(DECT transmission power) of the base
and handset is switched off in idle status,
assuming all registered handsets support
Eco Mode+
.
Eco Mode / Eco Mode+
can be activated/
deactivated independently of one another
and can also be used when multiple hand-
sets are registered on the base.

Please note
u
When using
Eco Mode+
, you can
ensure that the base is in range by
pressing and
holding
the talk key on
a handset. You hear the dial tone if the
base can be reached.
u
When
Eco Mode+
is enabled:
– Call setup is delayed by approx.
2 seconds on the handset.
– Handset standby time is reduced
by approx. 50%.
u
Registering handsets that do not sup-
port
Eco Mode+
causes the mode to
be deactivated on the base and all
other registered handsets.
u
Activating
Eco Mode
reduces the
range of the base.
u
Eco Mode / Eco Mode+
and repeater
support
cancel each
other out, i.e., if you use a repeater
you cannot use
Eco Mode
and
Eco
Mode+
.
