Battery life
Talk time varies with the use of the handset. Talk time is about 5 hours, but this
depends on the number of times the user presses the keypad to enable the back-
lighting of the keypad. Users have experienced as little as two hours total talk time
when using this handset as a primary set. During an active call, the back-lighting is
disabled after one minute to save on power, but activates again every time you press
a key on the handset.
Avaya recognizes this as an important issue that must be resolved and is currently
working on a solution.
Handset plastics can crack open at the seams after being dropped
The design specifications of the handset are to withstand a six foot drop. There have
been instances where the handset opened up after being dropped from one or two
feet (particularly when the belt clip is attached to the back of the phone). Avoid
dropping the handset. Avaya intends to increase the robustness of the plastics
design.
Call on Hold cannot go into sleep mode
As per design intent, to save battery life, a call placed on hold goes into sleep mode
after one minute of being inactive (that is, if you do not press a key or transmit voice).
This occurs on all external and internal calls. The calls are not dropped because the
base station keeps the link to the KSU alive. Press the keypad or a line indicator key
to activate the LEDs and show which line is on hold.
