Handset Range Indicators
The handset provides an audible and a visual warning signal to alert
you when the handset is not within optimal range of the radio module.
Depending on how far away the handset is from the radio module,
the signal functions as follows:
■

Out of optimal range. If you walk into an area that is near the
end of the optimal operating range of the radio module, the
handset emits two beeps and flashes the RANGE indicator
continuously. At this point, you can continue your conversation or
initiate a call, but you are likely to experience a degradation in
voice quality.
Loss of communication link. If you walk into an area that is out
of operating range of the radio module, the handset emits five
beeps and flashes the RANGE indicator five times. In this case,
you must bring the handset within range of the radio module
within several seconds or the handset will turn off. If the handset
turns off, it appears that your call was disconnected; however it
has only been put on Hold. To talk with your party, move back
towards the radio module, press [
On/Off
], then proceed as you
would for any call placed on Hold.
Cannot establish communication link. If you are completely out
of range of the radio module when you attempt to make a call, the
handset emits two beeps and flashes the RANGE indicator two
times: then the handset automatically turns off. To make the call,
move back towards the radio module and try again.
Refer to “Troubleshooting” in the Quick Reference for additional
information about out-of-range conditions.
