ECO DECT
Switching off radiation
u Eco Mode+
When you activate Eco Mode+
the radiation (DECT transmission
power) of base and handset is
switched off automatically and
only turns on when calls are
made.
This is also true when multiple
handsets are used, provided the
handsets support Eco Mode+.
Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ can be acti-
vated/deactivated independently of
one another and can also be used
with multiple handsets. The handset
need not be placed in the base.

u When using Eco Mode+ you
can ensure that the range of
the base is sufficient by press-
ing the talk key c. You hear
the dial tone if the base can be
reached.

approx. 2 seconds.
– Handset standby time is
reduced by approx. 50%.
u Registering handsets that do
not support Eco Mode+
causes the mode to be deacti-
vated on the base and all other
handsets.
u Activating Eco Mode reduces
the range of the base.
u Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ and
repeater support (¢ page 63)
