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 further reduce the radiation from
the handset and base 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+
If you activate Eco Mode+, radiation (DECT
transmission power) from the base and
handset is deactivated in idle status. 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.

Please note
u When using Eco Mode+, you can
ensure that the base is in range by
pressing and holding the talk key c.
You hear the dial tone if the base can
be reached.
u When Eco Mode+ is activated:
– 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 54) cancel each
other out, i.e., if you use a repeater,
you cannot use Eco Mode or Eco
Mode+.
