ECO DECT

You are helping to protect the environment
with your Gigaset.
Reducing energy consumption
Your telephone has a power-saving adapter
plug and uses 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: 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 base even more by using Eco
Mode:
Eco Mode
Reduces radiation from the base and hand-
set 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, if
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.

Please note
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 dial 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.
u Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ and repeater
support (¢ page 39) cancel each
other out, i.e., if you use a repeater
you cannot use Eco Mode or
Eco Mode+.
