Enabling DECT Eco
FRITZ!Box 7490 137
How Does DECT Eco Work?
When all registered cordless telephones are in standby oper-
ation, the DECT radio transmission of the FRITZ!Box and the
telephones is switched off.
When a call arrives or you press a key on a cordless tele-
phone, the FRITZ!Box switches DECT radio transmission back
on.
Standby operation of a cordless telephone:
• You are not making any calls.
• You are not using any other telephone functions.
• You are not pressing any keys on the telephone.

DECT Eco” must be displayed for each cordless tele-
phone under “DECT / DECT Monitor”.
• The FRITZ!Box must be configured as a DECT base sta-
tion: The setting “DECT enabled” must be enabled under
“DECT / Base Station” in the user interface.
