Handset Modes
Standby mode (on-hook)
In standby mode, the handset is waiting for an incoming call or for
the user to place an outgoing call. The extension number is shown on
the display and there is no dial tone. In this mode, the handset is
conserving battery power and wireless LAN bandwidth.
When an incoming call occurs, the handset enters a transitional state
and will ring until the call is answered by pressing the
START key or
the
END key is pressed to silence the ringing.
Active mode (off-hook)
To place a call, press the START key. This transitions the handset to
active off-hook mode. There is a dial tone, the handset is in
communication with the PBX, and the display shows information as it
is received from the PBX. The user may place a call or press a softkey
or the
FCN or LINE key to access additional operations.
The handset is also in the active mode when an incoming call is
answered.
When an incoming call occurs during an active call the handset will
play the second call ringing sound until the call is answered, the caller
hangs up, or the call transfers to voicemail. If
END is pressed, the first
call is terminated and the handset reverts to a full ring.
The active modes utilize the most bandwidth and battery power. To
conserve these resources and allow the handset to receive new calls,
return the handset to the standby mode when a call is completed by
pressing the
END key.
Configuration menu mode
Press the Cfg softkey to enter the configuration menu mode. When
user preferences are being configured in the
Config menu, the handset
is on but is not active. It cannot receive calls while in the
Config menu.
