Power-saving mode

Note: Applicable to only an ESI Cordless Handset.

Handset's keys or receiving an incoming call on it will discontinue power-saving mode.

Cordless Handset based on that extension's current status (busy, idle, do-not-disturb, or — with optional ESI Presence
Management — off-premises).
