A wireless device that is operational and ready for use, but not actively engaged in a call—when is it on but not being used.
(Wireless Phone Feature) The length of time a battery lasts when the phone is on but not in use. In this mode, the phone does not incur airtime expense. Longer standby times mean the phone can stay on to receive calls longer without stopping to recharge the battery.
The maximum length of time you can leave a handset switched on before the batteries need recharging. Talking on a cordless phone or mobile phone will use more power, which is why a separate ‘Talk Time' figure is given.
