ECO DECT Technology:

All Gigaset cordless phones, including the E290 series, are equipped with environmentally friendly ECO DECT technology. These phones are radiation-free in standby mode even with multiple handsets, provided that both the base and all connected handsets support this technology. During calls, transmission power automatically adjusts based on the distance from the handset to the base. The closer you are to the base, the lower the radiation. The ECO DECT mode can be switched off anytime for maximum DECT range.
