7.3 Manually Switching Off Services to Reduce Power

If you are not using the wireless access point of your MediaAccess Gateway, you might consider to disable the wireless
access point permanently. This allows you to further reduce the power consumption.
To turn the wireless interface:
Off, press the ECO ( ) button until the Wireless LED is off.
On, press the ECO ( ) button until the Wireless LED is on.
Zero power consumption
If you will not be using your MediaAccess Gateway for a longer time (for example: you are going on holiday), you should
consider to turn off the MediaAccess Gateway. This way no energy will be consumed at all.
However, be aware that if you turn off the MediaAccess Gateway, all services provided by the MediaAccess Gateway that
require access to the Internet will not be available. For example:
You will not be able to browse to Internet websites, listen to radio streams etc.
No VoIP calls can be made/received
You will no longer be able to make or receive phone calls over the Internet. Your phone calls will automatically be done via
the traditional phone network (if available).
No Digital TV is provided
If your set-top box is connected to your MediaAccess Gateway, it will no longer be able to connect to the Internet, hence
not be able to service your TV set.
