Handset Range Indicators
The handset provides an audible and a visual warning signal to alert you when the hand-
set is not within optimal range of the radio module. Depending on how far away the hand-
set 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 Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” for additional information about out-of-range
conditions.
