3.4 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 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 (on hook)
Press the
MENU
key in standby mode to emulate the on-hook state of the IP Phone
7960.
Active (off-hook) predial
To place a call using predialing (cell phone dialing), dial the number while in standby
mode and then press
Start Call
. This transitions the handset to active off-hook mode
and the number is immediately called.
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 a call is received.
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 voicemail. 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.
