 VoiceStation™ 500 

supports three modes of operation:

•  POTS Audio
•  Bluetooth Audio (headset and hands-

free profile)

•  Wired Audio Mode (2.5mm)

The Link Indicator is off when the phone 
is in normal POTS mode.  The Link 
Indicator will be slowly flashing blue when 
the VoiceStation™ 500 is in Bluetooth 
mode, and it will be solid amber when 

the phone is in Wired Audio mode (with a 
cable connected).  

When in POTS mode, inserting a 2.5mm 
cable enables Wired Audio Mode.  To 
enter Wired Audio Mode, press the Mode 
button.  The amber link indicator will 
come on.  It is possible to make/answer 
Bluetooth and POTS calls when in Wired 
Audio Mode.  For more information, refer 
to ‘Changing between calls in Wired Audio 
Mode’ on Page 15.
