SpectraLink Wireless Telephone Overview

Active mode (off-hook)
The handset is in the active mode when an incoming call is answered
or when it is in communication with the SIP server without being in
an active call.
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 the
END key is pressed,
the first call is terminated and the handset reverts to a full ring.
The active mode utilizes the most bandwidth and battery power. To
conserve battery resources, return the handset to the standby mode
when a call is completed by pressing the
END key.
Push-to-talk (PTT) mode
The SpectraLink 8030 Wireless Telephones utilize channels for
incoming and outgoing radio communication. While PTT is active, the
handset is in PTT mode. It can receive regular phone calls in this
mode. When a regular phone call is answered, the handset enters
active mode.
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. If the handset is idle 15 seconds while in the Config
menu, it will return to the standby state. If a call was trying to be
established while in the Config menu, it will ring as soon as it is
returned to the standby state.
Messaging mode
If text messaging functions have been programmed, as in a nurse call
system, the handset is able to receive text messages. While these
messages are being accessed, the handset is in messaging mode.
Incoming calls will ring with the second call ringing sound.
