Important Tones and Alerts
No-Service Tone –
When cellular service is not available, the receiver emits a
No-Service
(fast-beeping)
tone instead of the normal
(steady)
dial tone.
ROH (Receiver Off-Hook) Tone –
If the telephone equipment remains off-hook
(off its cradle)
with no dialing activity for 45 seconds, the receiver emits an ROH
tone for 60 seconds.
Incoming Call Alert –
If you’re dialing a number and an incoming call occurs,
the receiver will emit an audible ring. To answer the incoming call:
••
Press the “HOOKFLASH” button once. This will connect the incoming call.
••
OR hang-up immediately. This will cause the phone to start ringing.
Supplementary Service Dial Tone –
When supplementary services are
enabled and active, the receiver may emit a special dial tone to indicate that
one or more services are active.
Roam Dial Tone –
When cellular service is available, but the Phonecell is in a
Roam area, the receiver may emit a different dial tone to indicate the roaming
condition. However, unless the FWT is re-programmed in the field, the factory
default tone is set the same as normal service dial tone.
Non-Registered Service Tone –
When the SIM Card is inactive, missing from
the Phonecell, or installed but requires PIN entry, the receiver emits a
non-registered service tone instead of the normal
(steady)
dial tone.
