Modes of Operation Active Mode
Unless otherwise stated, the following information assumes your wireless phone is in standby mode.
To make a call:
1. Press Start Call.
This transitions your phone to active off-hook mode and a dial tone is heard. The phone is in
communication with the IP Office and in the Main Display area, Dial is displayed.
2. In certain PBX integrations, some features are designed to be accessed from an active on-hook
mode. To go on-hook while still active, press Line.
3. When you have completed the call, press End Call to exit the active mode and return to the
standby mode.
Notes
The phone is also in active mode when you receive a call.
When your phone is in active mode, whether off-hook or not, it requires the most bandwidth of
any mode. To conserve bandwidth and battery power, when you have completed a call or have
finished accessing active mode menus and features, press End Call to return to standby
mode.
Modes of Operation
The wireless phones uses different amounts of power and bandwidth in different modes of operation.
Bandwidth is provided by access points located throughout your facility. Bandwidth availability varies by
type of access point. The battery pack in your phone provides approximately four hours of talk time or 80
hours in standby mode.
If Push-to-Talk (3626 phone only) is allowed and enabled, standby battery pack life is decreased to
approximately 30 hours. See Push-to-Talk.
Note
Conservation of battery life and bandwidth is possible when you understand the modes and use
them appropriately.
