Eco Dect - Siemens Gigaset C595 User Manual

ECO DECT

You are helping to protect the environment
with your Gigaset CS590/CS595.
Reduced energy consumption
By using an energy-saving power supply,
your telephone consumes less power.
Reducing radiation
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 handset 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:
u
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
u
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+.
Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ can be activated/
deactivated independently of one another
and can also be used with multiple handsets.
The handset does not have to be in the base.

u
When using Eco Mode+ you can
ensure that the range of the base is
sufficient by pressing and holding the
talk key c. You hear the ring tone if
the base can be reached.
u
When Eco Mode+ is enabled:
– call setup is delayed by approx.
2 seconds.
– handset standby time is reduced
by approx. 50%.
u
Registering handsets that do not sup-
port Eco Mode+ causes the mode to
be deactivated on the base and all
other handsets.
u
Activating Eco Mode reduces the
range of the base.

Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ and repeater

other out, i.e. if you use a repeater you
cannot use Eco Mode and Eco
Mode+.
