ECO DECT

You are helping to protect the environment with your Gigaset.

Reduced energy consumption

Your telephone has a power-saving adapter plug and uses <0.5 W when in idle status

and when the batteries are not being charged.

Reducing radiation

The radiation from your telephone is reduced automatically:

• Handset: The closer the handset is to the base, the lower the radiation.

• Base: The radiation is reduced to virtually zero when only one handset is registered

and the handset is placed in the base.

You can reduce the radiation from the handset and the base even more by using Eco

Mode:

• Eco Mode

Reduces the radiation of the base and handset by 80% – whether you are making

a call or not. Eco Mode reduces the range of the base 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 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 activated/deactivated independently of one another

and can also be used with multiple handsets. The handset need not be placed in the

base.
