The handset provides an audible and a visual signal to alert you when the handset is near the end of the range of the radio module. Depending on how far away the handset is from the radio module, the signals function as follows:
• The handset emits two beeps and flashes the RANGE indicator continuously.
Out of optimal range. You have walked into an area that is near the end of the operating range of the radio module. You can continue your conversation or initiate a call, but you are likely to experience a degradation in voice quality.
• The handset emits five sets of beeps and displays the RANGE indicator.
Loss of communication link. You have walked into an area that is out of the operating range of the radio module. You must bring the handset within range of the radio module within several seconds or the handset will turn off. If the handset turns off, it appears that your call was disconnected; however, it was only placed on Hold. To talk with your party, move back toward the radio module, press O, then proceed as you would for any call placed on Hold.
• When you try to make a call, the handset emits two beeps and flashes the RANGE indicator twice; then the handset automatically turns off.
Cannot establish communication link. You are completely out of range of the radio module. To make the call, move back towards the radio module and try again.
