W-AIR is the cordless range for people who move around. Here is what the handsets do and how to get going with one.
The handsets
- W-AIR Basic. Calling, nothing more. For a stockroom or a workshop.
- W-AIR Office. The everyday handset, with a colour screen and a phonebook.
- W-AIR Med. Built for healthcare, with a surface that survives cleaning.
- W-AIR LifeSaver. Adds a man-down alarm and an emergency button for lone workers.
- W-AIR Headset. A cordless headset rather than a handset, for hands-free work.
Using a handset
A W-AIR handset carries your extension, so calls to you ring on it wherever you are in the building. You can dial by extension, search the phonebook, and transfer calls as from any phone.
Coverage
Coverage comes from base stations placed around the building. In a well-designed installation, walking between them hands the call over without a break.
Dead spots are almost always a coverage problem rather than a handset problem. Note where it happens and how consistently, and tell us: that is what we need to fix it.
We work out where base stations should go and configure them. We do not mount them or run the cabling. That is work for your own installer, and we assume the cabling is in place. What we can tell you is where the stations belong, because moving one on a hunch usually makes coverage worse rather than better.
Charging
Handsets charge in their cradle. Put them back at the end of a shift and battery complaints largely disappear. A handset that goes flat mid-shift is usually one that lives on a bench rather than in its charger.
Emergency features
W-AIR LifeSaver adds alarms for people working alone. If you need those, they have to be configured deliberately, so tell us what should happen when an alarm triggers and who should be alerted.
