They are a pleasure to handle, thanks to their user-friendly keys with sensitive pressure points. Illuminated, graphical displays also make reading and navigating the menus effortless. Plug & play setup means that the handset is pre-registered to the base station – no further installation necessary.
A120/A120A www.gigaset.com 5 Ecological power use – ECO DECT in the A120/A120A ECO DECT saves energy and makes an active contribution to environmental protection. ECO DECT addresses the following points: Switched-mode versus conventional power supply 1. The use of switched-mode power supplies (B) in the base station cuts consumption by up to 60 % compared to conventional power supply units (A). Phone use averaging one hour per day results in a yearly saving of approximately 24 kWh.

The ECO DECT function complements this adjustment: the transmission power of the handset and base station in idle mode are automatically reduced to zero if the handset is in the base station and only one handset has been registered. 3. In radiation-free “ECO Mode Plus” the DECT transmitting power is switched off when the handset is idle or charging and when all handsets support ECO Mode Plus 10%. However, this reduces the range to about half the distance. 4.

During this time, wall thicknesses have been reduced from 2.5 mm to 2.3 mm and now average about 1.8 - 2 mm. This corresponds to granulate savings of more than 20 %, without sacrificing mechanical stability or robustness. 2.
