Eco Dect: Reducing Energy Consumption And Radiation - Siemens Gigaset DL500A User Manual

ECO DECT:
Reducing energy
consumption and
radiation
You are helping to protect the environment
with your Gigaset phone.
Reduced energy consumption
Your base has a power-saving adapter plug
and uses less power.
Reducing radiation
The radiation reduces automatically
depending on the distance of the registered
handsets to the base. The closer the hand-
sets are to the base, the lower the radiation.
You can reduce the radiation from the
handsets and the base even more by using
Eco Mode.
Eco Mode reduces radiation by 80% –
whether you are making a call or not.
Eco Mode reduces the range 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 the base
and handset is switched off in idle status,
assuming all registered handsets support
Eco Mode+.
Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ can be activated/
deactivated independently of one another
and can also be used when multiple hand-
sets are registered on the base.
