7.3 Manually Switching Off Services to Reduce Power
ECO button
If you are not using the wireless access point of your Thomson 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 Thomson Gateway for a longer time (for example: you are going on holiday), you
should consider to turn off the Thomson Gateway. This way no energy will be consumed at all.
However, be aware that if you turn off the Thomson Gateway, all services provided by the Thomson Gateway
that require access to the Internet will not be available. For example:
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 Thomson Gateway, it will no longer be able to connect to the
Internet, hence not be able to service your TV set.
