Handset Modes

Standby mode (on-hook)

In standby mode, the handset is powered on and is ready to send and receive calls. 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.

When an incoming call arrives, the handset rings and goes into active mode. Answer the call by pressing the START key, the Answ softkey or NavOK. The handset will ring according to user preference as specified in the standby menus. You can silence the ringing by pressing the END key. If you do not wish to accept the call, press the Rej softkey. The call will be redirected to voicemail if available.

Active mode (off-hook)

The handset is in the active mode when you are placing or receiving a call, or when the handset is in communication with the SIP server.

When an incoming call occurs during an active call, the handset will play the second call ringing sound until the call is answered, the caller hangs up, or the call transfers to voicemail. If you press the END key, the first (active) call ends and the handset reverts to a full ring for the second call.

The active mode utilizes the most bandwidth and battery power. To conserve these resources, return the handset to the standby mode at the end of your call by pressing the END key.

Push-to-talk (PTT) mode

The SpectraLink 8030 Wireless Telephones utilizes channels for incoming and outgoing radio communication, similar to a walkie- talkie. While using this feature, the handset is in PTT mode. It can receive regular phone calls while in this mode. When a regular phone call is answered, the handset switches to active mode.
