ECO DECT

During a call, the transmission power is automatically adjusted to the distance
between handset and base station, the smaller the distance, the lower the
transmission power (radiation). In idle status the transmission power of the
handset is switched off. Only the base station ensures contact with the hand-
set using low radio signals.
Your phone offers you the opportunity to further reduce the transmission
power:
1) Reducing transmission power (eco mode)
If the setting Max. Range is switched to off (menu tree
mission power in standby mode and during a call is reduced up to 80% at half
range.
2) Deactivating transmission power (eco mode+)
With the setting No Radiation (menu tree
mission power of the base station in standby mode completely. Please note:
All registered handsets must support this feature.
For quick connection of incoming calls the handset repeatedly switches
to reception mode for short periods. This increases energy consumption
and therefore reduces the standby and talk times.
