ECO DECT - Tecnologia Sustentável

O que é ECO DECT?
ECO DECT é uma nova tecnologia que reduz o consumo de energia e a potência de transmissão dos telefones DECT. 

Benefícios do ECO DECT

• Permite uma redução de até 60% no consumo de energia devido a uma fonte de energia econômica inteligente
  Quando comparado aos nossos telefones sem fio convencionais
• Redução da potência de transmissão para praticamente zero quando o monofone encontra-se na base carregadora 
  Com apenas um monofone registrado
• ECO-Mode
  Os telefones ECO DECT oferecem um modo chamado ECO Mode que reduz a potência de transmissão em até 80% (em comparação aos nossos telefones sem fio convencionais e quando o ECO Mode não está ligado), até mesmo quando mais de um ramal está registrado e quando o monofone encontra-se fora da base carregadora.
• ECO Mode Plus
  O modo livre de radiação ECO Mode Plus desliga completamente a potência de transmissão quando o telefone encontra-se em espera. A potência de transmissão DECT é desligada para todos os ramais registrados - quando todos possuem o ECO Mode Plus
• Potência de transmissão variável conforme a distância entre a base e o monofone
  Dependente da distância em relação a base. 

Quanta energia o modo ECO DECT economiza?
Os telefones Gigaset com ECO DECT podem reduzir o consumo em até 60% quando comparado aos telefones convencionais Gigaset. Considerando que um telefone é usado em média por 2 horas/dia, o modo de menor consumo de energia pode economizar até 2 watts (de 1.3 até 3.5 watts).
Se considerarmos as 53 milhões de residências do Brasil, por exemplo, isso representaria uma economia anual de mais de 100 mil kWh, o suficiente para abastecer uma cidade com mais de 300 mil habitantes. 

Como a tecnologia ECO DECT ajuda o meio ambiente?
Todos os telefones Gigaset com ECO DECT possuem fontes de alimentação comutada. Quando comparadas as fontes de alimentação lineares convencionais, elas economizam até 60% de energia. 

Os telefones Gigaset com ECO DECT vão custar mais para o consumidor?
Não, os consumidores não terão que pagar mais pelos telefones Gigaset com ECO DECT. Nós temos telefones com essa categoria que se encaixam em diversas categorias. 

Existe algum risco de radiação com os telefones ECO DECT da Gigaset?
Os limites internacionais para trasmissão de ondas de rádio asseguram que não há riscos. Nossos produtos são mantidos muito abaixo dos limites recomendados.
Apesar de não existirem evidências científicas de que as ondas de rádio emitidas por aparelhos DECT são nocivas, a proposta da Gigaset é equipar todos os seus telefones com funções que permitam uma redução, manual ou automática, da potência de transmissão.  

Will ECO DECT technology impact performance of the phone? 
No, you can expect the same superior performance in ECO DECT-based products as in all Gigaset phones. If you choose to use ECO Mode, you manually reduce the signal distance by 50%, or to 25 meters inside the home and 150 meters outside..  

Are the inside components of ECO DECT phones  environmentally friendly, too? 
Yes. We’ve ensured that all steps in the production and disposal of ECO DECT products are as environmentally responsible and resource-conserving as possible. This starts with a solid, material-saving design and the use of environmentally friendly materials. We use state-of-the-art energy-saving machines and packaging and residual materials are systematically separated and recycled. The design, size and recycable materials of the packaging play another key role.
As far as logistics is concerned, the focus is on the use of an environmentally friendly means of transport, such as rail or ship, and on the efficient utilization of the vehicles’ cargo space. At the end of the chain, there is also service – here we avoid replacing parts and devices unnecessarily thanks to an individualized repair process. Finally, all remaining electronic waste is disposed of properly. 

What about lead - are your products lead-free? 
Yes. All of our Gigaset products have been lead free for more than two years now.

Which handsets support ECO Mode Plus when used with the telephone Gigaset SL780/785?
When used with the Gigaset SL780/785, all handsets equipped with ECO Mode Plus technology can be used in ECO Mode Plus.

What is meant by radiation-free in stand-by?
When using ECO Mode Plus, the base station only transmits a signal when necessary, for example, when a call comes in, when the phone is in use, or when a connection occurs.
When not in use, the transmitting power is turned off (this applies to all registered handsets that support ECO Mode Plus). This is true when you are not phoning or changing settings on the base station.
This applies to the following models:
SL780/785,  S790/795, E490/495, C590/595, C380/385, A580/585, A380/385, AL280/285, AL180/185 , AS280/285, AS180/85, SL78H, S79H, E49H, C59H, C38H, A58H, A38H , AL28H , AL18H, AS28H, AS18H

Does radiation-free mean that neither the base station nor the handset transmit a signal?
In ECO Mode Plus the transmitting power of the base station is turned off when the phone is in standby. 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.

Is the turning off of transmitting power only possible when the handset is in the charger, or can it also happen when it is somewhere else in my home?
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.

When is my phone in stand-by and how can stand-by be turned on?
When a device is in stand-by it is in kind of waiting mode. Effectively, it is always „ready“, so you can take and make calls at any point in time. Whenever your telephone is plugged into the outlet but you are not phoning with it or changing any settings, it is in stand-by mode.

When I activate ECO Mode Plus the stand-by time for my phone is cut in half. This means I have to charge the handset more often, which means I use more energy. Why is this the case?
The base station only transmits a signal when a call comes in or when an internal connection is established. To ensure that there are no delays in establishing a connection, the handset has to „listen“ in regular intervals for a connection is being established from the base station. This is referred to as scanning.
When using ECO Modus Plus, the handset has to scan more frequently than handsets requiring a constant connection. This causes the handset to consume more energy, which in turn reduces it‘s stand-by time.

What is the range of my telephone when ECO Mode is being used?
When the ECO Mode is turned on the transmitting power from the handset to the base station is reduced by 80% (in comparison to when ECO Mode is not activated and to Gigaset‘s conventional cordless phones). This means that the range is also reduced by half – to approx. 25m indoors and 150m outdoors.

What is the phone‘s range when ECO Mode Plus is activated?
When ECO Mode Plus is turned on the range is approx. 50m indoors and 300m outdoors.

What is the phone‘s range when ECO Mode and ECO Mode Plus are on at the same time?
If ECO Mode and ECO Mode plus are activated simultaneously, the range is reduced: this handset can be used within approx. 25m of the base station indoors and 150m of the base station outdoors.
