3.6 Initiating and Answering Intercom Calls
Note: Intercom communication allows one way communication at any given time. You must allow the other party to finish
talking before you can talk back.
Some system may have been set to Full Duplex or Hands-Free operation modes (not supported by all versions, requires
supporting base station and intercom station). In Full Duplex mode, the party on the intercom station is only required to
accept the call and after that can communicate without pressing and holding the intercom station button.
In Hands-Free mode, the party on the intercom station is NOT required to accept the call. The communication is
established automatically as soon as the call is received from the base station. As a result, when this mode is activated, the
base station can listen to the intercom station area without any notification or indication to the party on the intercom
station.
For additional settings, see DSC field on page 10.
