Calling and Conversation Between Stations

Initiating and Canceling a Hands-free Call

To call another station, just dial the number of the station. If you have the number programmed on a single-touch key, just press this key. When the call is connected in open mode, a warning tone is heard and the red lamp lights on both stations.

With TouchLine stations most users appreciate this hands-free conversation. Others prefer “telephone”-like calls where the called party accepts the call (typically by lifting the handset). This is explained on the next page.

During the conversation the system automatically switches the voice direction from one station to the other depending on the voice levels at each end (Duplex). In locations with normal noise levels, you can have your hands free throughout the conversation, and you can speak from wherever you are in the room.

To end the call, either party may press the C-key. The red lamp goes out on both stations.
