affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
within the particular environment (e.g. doctor's

tion is activated. This can cause severe, perma-
nent hearing damage.

ming noise in hearing aids.

shower room. The handset and base station
are not splashproof.
Do not use the telephone in environments
subject to explosion hazard (e.g. auto paint
shops).

ECO DECT

ECO DECT reduces power consumption by using a
power supply with low power consumption and
also reduces the transmission power of the base
station.
The transmission power of the base station is
switched off when just 1 handset is registered on
the base station!
Your handset also reduces the transmission power
depending on the distance to the base station.
