Overview
Important:
These prompts do not appear at every startup. They appear at first initialization and when
certain conditions require them.

Wireless telephone modes

The following are wireless telephone modes.
Standby (on-hook)
In standby mode the Wireless telephone waits for an incoming call or for the user to place an
outgoing call. The extension number appears 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 rings until you answer the call by pressing the Start
key, or the End key to silence the ringing.
Active (off-hook)
To place or receive a call, press the Start key. This transitions the Wireless telephone to active
off-hook mode. When 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 can place a call, or
press a softkey or the Fcn or Line key to access additional operations.
When an incoming call occurs during an active call the handset plays the second call ringing
sound in the earpiece until you answer the call by pressing the Start key, the caller hangs up, or
the call transfers to voice mail. If you press End, the first call terminates and the handset reverts
to a full ring.
The active mode uses the most bandwidth and battery power. To conserve battery resources
and allow the handset to receive new calls, return the Wireless Telephone to the standby mode
when a call is completed by pressing the End key.
Active idle
Active idle occurs when the softkey display area is active but there is no dial tone. From the
standby mode, press the Actv softkey to enter the active idle mode and display available
softkeys.
Configuration menu mode
When user preferences are being configured in the Configuration menu, the handset is on
but is not active. The handset cannot receive calls while in the Configuration menu.
