3.1.5 Receiving a Private Call
Incoming private calls can be either half-duplex or full-duplex. On receipt of a direct call setup (half
duplex), the terminal will immediately join the call and sound the received audio. Receiving a full-
duplex call setup will cause the terminal to ring using the selected phone ring style or will cause the
terminal to vibrate. Once the user takes the call by pressing <send/end>, the full-duplex call is
established.
3.1.6 Talk Time limit
In a half-duplex call, the terminal will limit the amount of time the user can continue to talk (=
transmit) according to a provisioned value. The user will be warned a short time before the talk time
expires.
