ECO DECT:
Reducing energy
consumption and
radiation
You are helping to protect the environment
with your Aton phone.
Reducing energy consumption
Your desktop phone 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 desktop phone. The closer
the handsets are to the desktop phone, the
lower the radiation.
You can further reduce the radiation from
the handsets and desktop phone by using
Eco Mode.
Eco Mode reduces radiation by 80% –
whether you are making a call or not.
Eco Mode reduces the range of the desktop
phone 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) from the desk-
top phone and handset is deactivated in idle
status, assuming all registered handsets sup-
port 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 desktop phone.

Please note
u When using Eco Mode+, you can
ensure that the range of the desktop
phone is sufficient by pressing and
holding the talk key on a handset. You
hear the ringing tone if the desktop
phone can be reached.
u When Eco Mode+ is activated:
– Call setup is delayed by approx.
2 seconds on the handset.
– Handset standby time is reduced
in certain circumstances.
u Registering handsets that do not sup-
port Eco Mode+ causes the mode to
be deactivated on the desktop phone
and all other registered handsets.
u Activating Eco Mode reduces the
range of the desktop phone.
u Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ and repeater
support (
¢ page 97) cancel each
other out i.e., if you use a repeater, you
cannot use Eco Mode or Eco Mode+.
