2.7 Handset Modes
Standby (on-hook)
In the 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 Call key or the End Call key is pressed
to silence the ringing.
Active (off-hook)
To place a call, press the Start Call 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 the FCN, MENU or LINE key to access 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
line ringing sound until the call is answered, the caller hangs up, or the call transfers
to voice mail. If End Call 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, return the handset to the standby mode when a call is completed by
pressing the End Call key.
