The 2210 Wireless Handset can be in one of seven states (see Table 2).

The seven states of the 2210 Wireless Handset (Part 1 of 2)
State Description
Power off The handset is turned off. It is not registered with the Call Server.
Normally the handset enters the power-off state when the user
presses the Power Off/End Call key for approximately two
seconds when the set is in the standby state. The batteries can be
recharged in the power-off state.
Standby This is the normal state when the handset is online but inactive. In
the standby state, the handset can receive calls and access the
User Option menu. To perform other operations, the handset must
be active (off-hook). The standby state uses less power than the
active (idle) state. The batteries can be recharged in the standby
state.
Active
(off-hook)
This is equivalent to a regular telephone being off-hook. The
handset goes to the active (off-hook) state by pressing the Power
On/Start Call key when the handset is in the standby or active
(idle) states.
Active (idle) This is equivalent to a regular telephone being idle. The active
(idle) state is reached in two ways:
• An incoming call in the Standby state causes the handset
to go to the active (idle) state and begin ringing.
• The user presses the FCN and 3 keys when the handset is
in the active (off-hook) state to access the function menu.
In this state the handset will not ring when there is an
incoming call.
Note: In the active (idle) state the handset and access point exchange a small
packet about once every 15 milliseconds. This increases the power consumption
and consumes bandwidth, particularly for the RF portion of the link. Therefore,
the set would not normally be left in the Idle state except for special situations.
Error The handset enters the error state when it looses the signal from
the access point. If the handset regains the signal within
approximately 20 seconds, it returns to its state when it lost the
signal. If the handset is out of range for longer than 20 seconds
the set restarts and returns to the standby state.
