Introduction
Ecomode plus
Your Aton CL311/CLT311 is fitted with the latest innovations in terms of reduction
of electromagnetic radiation (so called “electro-smog”) as well as electrical power
consumption reduction.
The Ecomode plus includes three main features:
Multi Handset Low Radiation Mode
When in standby, the electromagnetic radiation is automatically shut down between the
base station and the handset(s). This works with one ore more handsets declared to the
base station. The handset(s) and the base station are waiting for a wake-up signal should
a call come in, when you activate one handset or when the system synchronises some
data.
In other terms, electromagnetic radiation is generated only when the system is in use!
(refer to chapter Settings/Ecomode plus for settings).
Radiation reduction in communication
Up to 70% radiation reduction of the handset is achieved when it is near the base
station. The handset’s power transmission are regulated; the power transmitted from
the handset is automatically reduced to the lower level, depending on the distance to
the base station (refer to chapter Settings/Ecomode plus for settings).
Electrical consumption reduction
The efficiency of the switching power supply reduces the electrical consumption of the
telephone up to 60%. Combined with the Radiation Reduction and Multi Handset Low
Radiation Mode it contributes to save energy and costs.

Contents of the package
➭1 base station
➭1 connector cable
➭1 mains unit 6V 600 mA SSA-5W-05 EU 060060F
➭1 handset
➭2rechargeable batteries
➭1 user manual (3 languages ger/fr/it)
➭1 belt clip (mounted)
Location
To obtain the best possible range, we recommend positioning the telephone in a location
central to your sphere of activity. Avoid positioning the telephone in niches, recesses and
behind steel doors.
The maximum range between the base station and handset is approximately 40 meters
indoors and 250 meters outdoors. Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as
spatial and structural factors, the range may be smaller. Silent zones can occur due to the
digital transmission in the frequency range used – even within the range, depending on
the structural environment. In this case the transmission quality may be reduced through
the increased incidence of short breaks in transmission. Normal call quality can be restored
if you move slightly out of the silent zone. If the range is exceeded, the call will be dis-
connected unless you move back into range within five seconds.
To avoid radio signal interference from other electronic equipment, we recommend that
the base station and handset are situated at the greatest possible distance (min. 1 meter)
from other equipment.

Repeater
You can use a repeater to extend the range and receiving power of your base station.
The repeater must first be registered and activated on the base station. (Your telephone
is delivered with the default setting “off”).
Note For settings refer to chapter “Settings, Repeater”.
Setting up the base station
➭Do not expose the base station to direct sunlight.
➭Protect the base station against moisture. Do not position the base station in rooms
exposed to condensation, corrosive steam or excessive dust. Condensation can be pre-
sent in basements, garages, conservatories or sheds.
➭The ambient temperature must be between 5 °C and 40 °C.
Position the base station in a clean, dry and well-aired location. Choose a place which is
stable, level, and not subject to vibrations. To avoid mutual interference, do not position
the base station in the immediate vicinity of electronic equipment such as hi-fi systems,
office equipment or microwave ovens. Avoid positioning the telephone near heat sources
such as heating elements or near obstacles such as metal doors, thick walls, niches and
cupboards.
There is no mains switch on the base station. For this reason the socket to which it is
connected must be easy to access.
Listening protection
When you are on the telephone, the base station and handset are connected to each
other over a radio link. The base station handles switching between the telephone net-
work and the handset. To ensure that no-one can eavesdrop or telephone at your cost,
the base station and handset exchange codes. If the codes do not match, the connection
with third-party handsets cannot be set up.

Setting up the telephone
Note You can replace the handset in the base station after every call. Charging is
electronically controlled to ensure optimal charging of batteries in different
charge states. Avoid removing the batteries from the handset for no good
reason, since this affects the optimum charging cycle.
Because your telephone is fitted with a low-radiation mechanism, the antenna
automatically switches off in standby mode and cannot therefore emit any
radiation. Your telephone is delivered with this function switched on.
You can telephone for up to 12 hours with fully charged batteries.
The handset has a standby time of up to 120 hours.
If the battery charge status has reached its lower limit, the battery symbol ()
flashes in the display and a warning signal is heard. You have 10 minutes of
talk time left.
Language choice/Installation assistant
The language choice appears. Press to scroll to the desired language and press OK
to confirm.
An installation assistant guides you then step by step through the setup procedure for
your telephone.
Enter time and date according to the displayed instructions.
