Reduced energy consumption
Your telephone has a power-saving adapter plug and uses less power.
Reduced transmission power (depending on the base station)

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 regis-
tered 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+. For further information, please see your phone's user guide.

The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the multitude of
different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the occurrence of marks on the
surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
You can also mount the charging cradle on the wall.

◆ Never expose the telephone to the influence of heat sources, direct sunlight or other elec-
trical devices.
◆ Protect your Mitel from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
