Reduced energy consumption
Your telephone has an energy-saving adapter plug
and uses less energy.
Reduced transmission power
The transmission power of your telephone is
reduced automatically:
The handset's transmission power is reduced
depending on the distance to the base station. The
transmission power on the base station is reduced
to virtually zero when only one handset is registered and the handset is in the base station.
You can reduce the transmission power of the
handset and base station even more by using Eco
Mode/Eco Mode+ (see Menu tree

the base station is reduced).

The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of

surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
