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 handset will
ring according to user preference as specified in the standby menus.
You can silence the ringing by pressing the
END key. 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 PBX.
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.
