Chapter 2: Getting Sta rted
Overview
The Spectralink 80-Series Handset is a Wi-Fi handset for workplace telephone systems. By
seamlessly integrating with the facility’s telephone system, wireless telephone users are
provided with high-quality mobile voice communications throughout the workplace, giving users
the freedom to roam throughout the workplace while providing the features and functionality of a
wired desk phone.
The handsets will only work when they are within range of the wireless access points at your
facility; they are not cellular or satellite phones.
Note
Install and charge the Battery Pack before using the Spectralink 80-Series Handset.
See the Battery P acks section below and Charger Options.
Battery Packs
Three battery pack models are available: Standard, Extended, and Ultra-Extended. The
Standard rechargeable handset Battery Pack gives you approximately four hours of talk time or
80 hours of stand-by time. Stand-by time is when the handset is turned on, but not in an active
call.
4 hours 80 hours 2 hours
6 hours 120 hours 3 hours
8 hours 160 hours 4 hours
Note
Talk time and standby time will vary depending on handset model, call server,
features enabled and system configuration. These are minimum estimates. Your
experience may be significantly higher.
Note
The type of Battery Pack is printed on the label. Remove the Battery Pack and view
the label to determine the type of Battery Pack you have been issued.
1725-86203-000-G.docx
October 2013 12
Spectralink 80-Series Handsets User Guide for SRP
Caution
Use only Battery Pack models BPL100, -200 and -300 in the Spectralink 80-Series
Handsets.
Indications of low battery
The handset will need to have its Battery Pack recharged periodically. The Battery Pack icon on
the handset display’s status row indicates the amount of charge remaining. Additionally the
handset will sound warning tones and display the Battery Low message when there are fewer
than two minutes of talk time remaining.
A melody will play when the handset is powered on for the first time after being fully charged,
unless this feature has been disabled. See your system administrator if you have questions
about the type of Battery Pack you have been issued.
When the handset is in Standby mode, the message Battery Low and a series of chirps
indicate a critically low Battery Pack charge. The handset will not work until the Battery Pack is
charged.
Caution
Take care not to short the battery contacts on the Battery Pack with metal objects
such as coins, keys or paper clips. Shorting the contacts can cause permanent
damage.
Battery Pack removal and replacement
To remove, press down on the latch on the Battery Pack on the back of the handset. The
Battery Pack releases outward.
To replace, slide the lip of the Battery Pack into the bottom of the cavity. Push the top of the
Battery Pack until it snaps into place. You should not have to force it against the handset.
Notes on Battery Packs
• Battery Pack life will vary depending on handset model and features and system
infrastructure.
• Maximum Battery Pack performance is achieved after a few charge/discharge cycles.
• If multiple Battery Packs are supplied with your handset, Spectralink recommends that
each be fully charged upon receipt to prolong battery life. Battery Packs will slowly lose
charge if unused. To maintain battery potential, charge unused Battery Packs occasionally or alternate Battery Pack use.
1725-86203-000-G.docx
October 2013 13
Spectralink 80-Series Handsets User Guide for SRP
• After a length of time Battery Packs will lose the ability to maintain a charge and to
perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for all
batteries.
• If your Battery Pack requires replacement, contact your system administrator.
• Overnight charging is best done while the handset is turned off.
• The handset will chirp once when properly seated in the charger to let you know that the
charging cycle has begun. If the handset does not charge, clean Battery Pack, charger
and handset contacts with an alcohol swab.
Caution
Only use Spectralink Battery Packs with Spectralink 80-Series Handsets.

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 Handsets 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.

Telephone Ring
The telephone ring setting allows the user to set a distinctive ring rhythm, tone, volume and
sequence. Select from an audible ring, a vibrate-only ring or a vibrate ring accompanied by an
audible ring.
Ring Cadence The ring cadence is the rhythm of the ring. It may be set to a pre-programmed
ring cadence, or it may be set to obtain its cadence from the SIP proxy server. The PBX option
is designed to utilize any distinctive rings sent by the proxy server while allowing the user to set
unique rings for auxiliary applications.

server may send rings that differentiate between internal and external calls)
Continuous: Rings continually until answered
Short Pulse: Rings in short bursts
Long Pulse: Rings in long bursts

Message Alerts 1 and 2
Message Alerts are used by external applications such as nurse call systems. If such systems
are installed in your facility, you may adjust their ring characteristics to differentiate them from
other rings. Contact your system administrator to find out if these options are available.
Noise Mode
Provides options that describe the noise level in your environment. Changing this mode to High
or Severe adjusts the handset’s microphone and in-ear speaker volume to account for
background noise. Select Normal for most office environments; High for moderate background
noise; or Severe for extremely noisy conditions. If you use High or Severe modes in a quiet
environment, the person on the other end of the line may find it difficult to hear your voice.

Appendix A: Cleaning and Drying the
Handset
Note
The Spectralink 8030 Handsets have been tested for resistance to cleaning
chemicals per IEC 60068-2-74 (1999), Exposure of the 80-Series handsets to Lysol
or diluted bleach poses little risk of functional or cosmetic damage.
• Avoid dropping the handset or knocking it against hard surfaces. Carrying the handset in
a holster or carrying case will help protect it.
• There are no serviceable parts in the handset or chargers. You should not open the
handset case nor disassemble the chargers. Doing so will void your warranty.
• Turn off the handset and unplug chargers before you clean them. Never immerse either
in liquid. Clean the exterior surfaces, including the charging contacts, with a cloth that
has been slightly moistened with water. Take care not to exert undue pressure on
charger electrical contacts while wiping.
®
• Spectralink recommends the use of a silicone cover to prolong the life of your handset,
especially when it is dropped regularly or cleaned frequently with the disinfectants
prescribed below.
• Wiping the handset surface with a water-dampened cloth or paper towel will remove
most films or residues. If the soiling is too stubborn for plain water, a mild detergent
solution, Lysol, isopropyl alcohol or diluted bleach may be used.
• Pre-treated cloths and toilettes, like those used for eyeglasses or cameras, may be used
to clean the phone, however avoid using those containing lanolin or aloe as it will leave a
slippery residue.
• When cleaning with disinfectants, do not rub the keypad characters vigorously. Doing so
will degrade legibility of the handset’s keys.
• Do not directly spray or immerse the phone in a disinfectant or cleaning agent. Spray the
disinfectant on a soft cloth or paper towel, then wipe the phone's surface to dry it.
• The following products should NOT be used on the Spectralink wireless telephones.

Electromagnetic Interference and Compa tibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your handset in any
facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that is sensitive to external radio frequency (RF) energy.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that you maintain a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) between a handheld, wireless-radio product and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and
recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the handset more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the
handset is turned on
• Not carry the handset in a breast pocket
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference
• Turn the handset off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Use While Driving
Campus installations and warehouse facilities that use vehicles such as forklifts or golf carts
should abide by these guidelines when using wireless telephones:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road, aisle, or path
• Use hands-free operation, if available
• Pull off the road, aisle, or path and park before making or answering a call
For Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag
Do not place a portable device in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. An
airbag inflates with great force. If you place the handset in the airbag deployment area, and the
1725-86203-000-G.docx

airbag inflates, the airbag may propel the handset at high speed and cause serious injury to
occupants of the vehicle.
FCC Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the United States FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information:
Spectralink 80-Series Wireless Handsets
Your wireless handset is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives
and sends out 802.11a/b/g/n radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines with
safety levels for hand-held wireless handsets. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
• ANSI C95.1 (1992) American National Standards Institute
• NCRP - Report 86 (1986) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
• ICNIRP (1996) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
• DHWC - Safety Code 6 Department of Health and Welfare Canada
These standards were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure
standard for wireless mobile handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Note: SAR limits
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile handsets used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations in measurements.
The FCC conducts tests for SAR using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with
the handset transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
handset while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the handset is

designed to operate at multiple power levels so that it uses only the power required to reach the
network. Before a handset model is available for sale to the public, the FCC must test and
certify it to ensure that handsets do not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various handsets and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR
levels evaluated in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model handset is on file with the FCC. You can find it under the Display
Grant section at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on the FCC ID number found on the
handset label inside the battery compartment. Additional information on Specific Absorption
