Operation Modes

4 Part A: Introduction
A base station can operate in three different modes. Some functions are disabled
until you shift the base station into the required mode.
Run mode is used for normal operation.
Standby mode is required if you want to program the base station or carry
out diagnostic tests on it. Standby mode puts the base station out of service.
However it will still transmit if you push the Carrier button on the control
panel, use a microphone, or carry out a transmission test.
Download mode is required if you want to update the base station's
firmware. (The base station automatically enters Download mode if it has a
fundamental problem.)
Appropriate messages alert you to the need to change mode so that you do not
inadvertently leave the base station out of service when you end a Service Kit
session. Alternatively, you can configure the base station to automatically revert
from Standby to Run mode after the Service Kit logs off.
The Mode icon on the toolbar displays the current mode of the base station you
are logged in to.
It is in the form of a traffic light:
Green indicates Run mode
Orange indicates Standby mode
Red indicates Download mode
Click on it to change mode.
The status bar also displays the current mode.
