Your WLAN Handset 6120 and 6140
Modes of operation
The WLAN Handset 6120 and 6140 have six modes of operation (see Table 1).
The download icon indicates that the handset is downloading
code. This icon only appears while the handset is running the
over-the-air downloader. It appears to the right of the signal
strength icon in the same location as the voicemail icon.
The ring indicator icon is used to display the Real-Time
Location System (RTLS) icon, indicating that the
administration option has been set to ON. An incoming call,
triggering the ring indicator icon, takes priority over the
RTLS icon.

The WLAN Handset 6120 and 6140 Modes of operation (Part 1 of 2)
Mode Description
Standby This is the normal state when the handsets are online but inactive.
In the standby state, the handset can receive calls and access the
User Option menu. To perform other operations, the handsets
must be active (off-hook). The standby state uses less power than
the active (idle) state.
Active This is equivalent to a regular telephone being off-hook. The
handsets go to the active (off-hook) state when you press
Start
when the handsets are in the standby or active (idle) state. When
in the active (off-hook) state, the handsets use a soft ring.
Active idle The soft key display area is active but there is no dial tone. From
the standby mode, press the
Actv soft key to enter the active idle
mode and display available soft keys.
Config Menu User preferences are accessed in the Config Menu. In this mode
the handsets are on, but cannot receive calls.
Message Alert Custom text messaging applications can be programmed for your
facility. This mode is activated through
FCN+8, 9, # or * if
programmed..
