What is ECO-DECT?
Almost all Gigaset devices nowadays feature an ECO mode or even an ECO mode Plus. This technology significantly reduces the power consumption of the devices.
Pros
That's actually very easy. The Eco mode reduces the range. As a result, the device uses up to 60% less energy. In addition, a DECT device it always emits a very limited amount of radiation. This radiation is never dangerous, and you can reduce it even more if you use the Eco mode.
Disadvantages
When Eco-mode is enabled, the range of the devices decreases. This means that the range of the device becomes smaller. While the range of a Gigaset is always 50m indoors and 300m outdoors, this is halved when you use Eco modes: 25m indoors and 150m outdoors.
ECO mode
Phones equipped with an ECO mode have the option of lowering their transmission power by as much as 80%. Devices with Eco mode Plus can completely turn of the range limit. This mode will then be active for all handsets registered to a base station, if all these handsets support ECO mode.
