FRITZ!Fon C4 is a cordless telephone with which you can make tele-
phone calls on the Internet and the fixed-line network. FRITZ!Fon was
developed especially for the FRITZ!Box, but can be used with other
DECT base stations.
Telephone calls over the Internet can be conducted with FRITZ!Fon in
HD to enjoy natural sound quality.
FRITZ!Fon supports DECT Eco “No Emission”. If all of the cordless tele-
phones registered with one FRITZ!Box support DECT Eco, the
FRITZ!Box can switch off DECT transmission whenever the telephones
are on standby.
