Handset range
Your eco50 handset has a range of up to 300 metres
outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors, in ideal conditions.
If you carry the handset too far away from the base, you
may go out of communication range and the antenna icon
will flash on the display.
If you are already on a call and move out of range, the call
quality will degrade as the range limit is reached and the
call may be disconnected. You will need to move closer
to the base to be able to continue the call and make any
further calls.
Checking the signal strength
The signal icon displays the link status between your
handset and the base unit. A steady icon means your
handset and the base unit are linked. A flashing icon
means your handset and the base unit are not linked.
If you move too far away from the base unit while you are
on the phone, you will hear warning tones notifying you that
your handset is almost out of range – lost link. Take your
handset closer to the base unit or your call may be cut off
shortly after the warning
Note:
If your handset has lost the link with the base, you will not
be able to make or receive calls. You will also not be able
to carry out many of the phone functions and features.
