ECO DECT

ECO DECT
You are helping to protect the environment
with your Gigaset.
Reduced energy consumption
By using an energy-saving power supply,
your telephone consumes less power.
Reduced transmission power
The radiation from your telephone is
reduced automatically:
u
Handset: The closer the handset is to
the base, the lower the radiation.
u
Base station: The radiation is reduced
to virtually zero when only one hand-
set is registered and the handset is
placed in the base.
You can reduce the radiation from the hand-
set and base even more by using Eco Mode:
Eco Mode
Reduces the radiation of the base station
and handset by 80% - whether you are
making a call or not. Eco Mode reduces the
range of the base station 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+, radiation
(DECT transmission power) from the base
and handset is switched off in the idle state.
This is also true when multiple handsets are
used, provided the handsets support Eco
Mode+.
