2.7  Handset Modes 

Standby (on-hook) 
In the standby mode the handset is waiting for an incoming call or for the user to 
place an outgoing call. The extension number is shown 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 enters a transitional state and will ring 

until the call is answered by pressing the 

Start Call

 key or the 

End Call

 key is pressed 

to silence the ringing. 

To place a call, press the 

Start Call

 key. This transitions the handset to active off-

hook mode. 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 may place a 

call or press the 

FCN, MENU

 or 

LINE

 key to access operations. 

The handset is also in the active mode when an incoming call is answered. 
When an incoming call occurs during an active call the handset will play the second 
line ringing sound until the call is answered, the caller hangs up, or the call transfers 

to voice mail. If 

End Call

 is pressed, the first call is terminated and the handset 

reverts to a full ring. 
The active modes utilize the most bandwidth and battery power. To conserve these 
resources, return the handset to the standby mode when a call is completed by 

pressing the 

End Call

 key.
