Modes of Operation
The WT 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 WT
provides about four hours of talk time or 80 hours in the standby
mode (see below).
If push-to-talk (3626 WT only) is allowed in the Admin menu
and enabled by the user, standby Battery Pack life is decreased to
about 30 hours.
Conservation of battery life and bandwidth is possible when you
understand the modes and use them appropriately.
Standby mode In the standby mode the WT 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 WT is
conserving battery power and bandwidth.
You may set certain preferences in the user option menu
described later. This menu is accessed from the standby mode.
It is important to return to the standby mode after finishing a call
by pressing the
End Call key. Unless otherwise directed, the
following instructions for using the WT assume that it is in
standby mode.
Active mode To place a call, press the Start Call key. This transitions the WT
to active off-hook mode. There is a dial tone, the WT is in
communication with the PBX, and the display shows information
as it is received from the PBX.
The WT is also in the active mode when you receive a call.
In certain PBX integrations, some features are designed to be
accessed from an active on-hook mode. To go on-hook while still
active, you may be directed to press the
Line key or a Release
feature key.
.
Whenever you are in active mode, whether off-hook or not, the
WT requires the most bandwidth of any mode.
To conserve bandwidth and battery power, when you have
completed a call or are finished accessing active mode menus and
features, press the
End Call key to exit the active mode and return
to the standby mode.
Push-to-talk mode
3626 WT only
The push-to-talk mode utilizes a common channel for incoming
and outgoing radio communication. Outgoing communication
uses the same amount of bandwidth as the off-hook mode.
Incoming communication uses about half as much.
