• Make sure that all the handsets registered to the base
station are XL490/XL495 in order to have the ECO+
feature functioning properly.

This is because in ECO+ mode the base station is not
transmitting any signal in standby mode; therefore the
handset needs to “listen” more frequently for signals
from the base station to detect incoming calls or other
requests from the base station. The time it takes for the
handset to access features like call setup, call log, paging,
and phonebook browsing is also delayed. The handset
will not alert you to link loss in case of power loss or
