ECO DECT
ECO DECT includes settings for the range and radiation on the DECT wireless network. On
delivery, the device is configured to guarantee an optimal connection between the handset and
the base station with as little radiation as possible. In idle status, the handset does not transmit
(it is radiation-free). Only the base station maintains contact with the handset using weak wire-
less signals. During a call, the transmit power automatically adapts to the distance between base
station and handset. The shorter the distance to the base station, the lower the radiation.
ECO DECT settings can be made on the base station or on a handset and apply to all DECT
devices.
Maximum range
The maximum range for the DECT connection is disabled upon delivery. This means radiation is
reduced by up to 80%. This reduces the range by approx. 50%.

Switching off radiation completely in idle status
With the radiation-free function, you can further reduce the radiation. Radiation is deactivated
completely when the base station and handsets are in idle status. The wireless connection is only
established automatically for incoming and outgoing calls. This means there is a 2 second or so
delay in establishing a connection.
So that a handset can establish a wireless connection with the base more quickly for an
incoming call, it must "listen" to the base more often, i.e. scan the environment. This increases
power usage and reduces the standby and talktime of the handset.
Radiation-free activated:
• there is no range display / range alarm on the handset. Contactability can be tested by
attempting to establish a connection.
• The icon appears on the handset display.
If a repeater is to be used to increase the range, maximum range must be switched on.
This happens automatically when this feature is activated.
