Your contribution to the environment (ECO)
We at Gigaset Communications GmbH make our products as environmen-
tally compatible as possible. Our goal is a sustainable process that makes it
easier for us to comply with the strict stipulations of the ISO standard 14001
for international environmental management.
Further advantages for the ecology
u Thanks to a switched-mode power supply, all our routers and repeaters use up to
60% less power and so offer higher energy efficiency.
u You can reduce the WLAN's transmitting power for all routers and repeaters and
some WLAN clients – depending on the device in question and your PC's operating
system.
u You can turn off the WLAN completely.
