The download icon indicates that the handset is downloading code. This icon only appears while the handset is running the over-the-air downloader. It appears to the right of the signal strength icon in the same location as the voicemail icon.

The ring indicator icon is used to display the Real-Time Location System (RTLS) icon, indicating that the administration option has been set to ON. An incoming call, triggering the ring indicator icon, takes priority over the RTLS icon.

Modes of operation

The WLAN Handset 6120 and 6140 have six modes of operation (see Table 1).

Table 1

The WLAN Handset 6120 and 6140 Modes of operation (Part 1 of 2)

Mode	Description
Standby	This is the normal state when the handsets are online but inactive.
	In the standby state, the handset can receive calls and access the
	User Option menu. To perform other operations, the handsets
	must be active (off-hook). The standby state uses less power than
	the active (idle) state.
Active	This is equivalent to a regular telephone being off-hook. The
	handsets go to the active (off-hook) state when you press Start
	when the handsets are in the standby or active (idle) state. When
	in the active (off-hook) state, the handsets use a soft ring.
Active idle	The soft key display area is active but there is no dial tone. From
	the standby mode, press the Actv soft key to enter the active idle
	mode and display available soft keys.
Config Menu	User preferences are accessed in the Config Menu. In this mode
	the handsets are on, but cannot receive calls.
Message Alert	Custom text messaging applications can be programmed for your
	facility. This mode is activated through FCN+8, 9, # or * if
	programmed..
