General
A Private Call, also called Point-to-Point or individual call, is a 
call between two individuals. No other terminal can hear the 
conversation. 
This call can be a 
• full-duplex call (if the system allows) in TMO, or
•a half-duplex call in TMO or DMO. 
In a full-duplex call, both participants can speak at the same 
time, while in a half-duplex call, only one person can speak at 
a time.
For operating the MTM800 Enhanced in RF sensitive areas, 
see “Transmit Inhibit” on page 41.
