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 bandwidth.

Active (off-hook)

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 handset is also in the active mode when you receive a call.

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.

Active (on-hook)

To access the on-hook features of the handset, it must be in the active on-hook mode. To transition from the active off-hook mode to the active on-hook mode, press the Start Call key. In this mode, the user may access the on-hook OptiGuide features. Return to the standby mode by pressing the End Call key when finished accessing the on- hook features.
