Eco Dect - Gigaset S820 User Manual

ECO DECT
ECO DECT indicates low energy consumption and reduced transmission power.
Reduced transmission power (radiation)
In normal operation mode (factory setting):
On delivery, the device is set to maximum range. This guarantees optimised wireless manage-
ment. The handset does not emit a signal in idle status (no radiation). Only the base ensures con-
tact with the handset is maintained through low-strength wireless signals. During a call the
strength of the wireless signal is adapted automatically to the distance between the handset
and base. The smaller the distance between the handset and base, the lower the transmission
power.
You can further reduce the transmission power as follows:
1) Reducing the range to decrease transmission power by up to 80%
Many apartments, business premises, offices, etc., do not need the maximum range. If you deac-
tivate the Maximum Range setting, transmission power during a call is reduced to 80% at half
the range.

Radiation setting.

When the wireless module is deactivated the idle display shows the
nal strength icon.
Please note
u
To benefit from Eco mode+, all registered handsets must support this function.
u
The wireless connection is established automatically for incoming or outgoing calls only.
This causes a connection delay of approx. 2 seconds.
u
Handsets need to "listen in" to the base, i.e., scan the surrounding area, on a regular basis
to enable them to establish a connection to the base quickly in the event of an incoming
call. This increases power consumption and therefore reduces the handset's standby
time and talktime.
u
When Eco mode+ is activated (no radiation) the handset does not display a range indi-
cator/range warning. You can check availability by calling a line: Press and hold the talk
c
key . You hear the dial tone.
u
If a handset registered on a base in Eco mode+ does not support this feature, Eco mode+
is automatically deactivated (range indicator
turns to Off). As soon as the incompatible handset is de-registered again, Eco mode+ is
reactivated automatically.
