Does „100% reduction“ mean that neither the base station nor the handset transmit a signal?

In ECO Mode Plus the transmitting power of the base station is reduced by 100%, or turned off. This is also true when the handset is not in the charger, and when multiple handsets are registered, as long as these also support ECO Mode Plus. However, in regular intervals the handset „listens“ to see if the base station is „calling“ and vice versa. This is referred to as scanning.



Regardless of the handset’s location – in the charger or somewhere else in the home – the transmitting power between the base station and handset is turned off in ECO Mode Plus (this applies to all registered handsets that support ECO Mode Plus). The transmission first happens when a call takes place since this requires a connection between the base station and the handset.

The base station and handset scan to check for a signal, which means they “listen” for the “call” of the other device. Only then do they establish a connection and transmit a signal.
