3.4Handset 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 wireless LAN bandwidth.

When an incoming call occurs the handset will ring until the call is answered by pressing the Start Call key or the End Call key is pressed to silence the ringing.

Predial

To place a call using predialing (cell phone dialing), dial the number while in standby mode and then press Start Call. This transitions the handset to active off-hook mode and the number is immediately called.

Active (off-hook)

To place a call, press the Start Call key. This transitions the Wireless Telephone to active off-hook mode. There is a dial tone, the Wireless Telephone is in communication with the PBX, and the display shows information as it is received from the PBX. The user may place a call or press the FCN or LINE key to access operations.

The Wireless Telephone is also in the active mode when a call is received.

When an incoming call occurs during an active call the handset will play the second line ringing sound until the call is answered, the caller hangs up, or the call transfers to voicemail. If End Call is pressed, the first call is terminated and the handset reverts to a full ring.

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 transition from the standby mode to the active on-hook mode, press the MENU key. In this mode, the handset displays the text display as seen on an idle 5220 IP phone, usually the date and time. There is no dial tone. The user may press the FCN or LINE key to access all operations available from the active off-hook mode.

When an incoming call occurs the handset will ring loudly until the call is answered or the End Call key is pressed. If an active key is pressed, the ring will convert to the second-line ringing sound.

If there is no activity for 45 seconds, to conserve bandwidth and battery power the handset will return to the standby mode.
