9.6.2 Fitting the headset and making the voice connection
After starting the data connection, the Tempus will bring up instructions to make the voice connection. If a
voice connection is not required press the Home button. The voice connection can be made using either the
pre-attached Bluetooth
®
headset or the wired headset (accessory).
It is important to have attached the headset before dialling as the voice connection to the Response Centre
can be made quickly.
Remember that often the voice connection will be made over a satellite link so you may experience
background noise or drop-outs. RDT recommends that you adopt a process of only one person speaking on
the line at a time and then handing over to the other speaker by saying “over” or similar.
The voice connection can be setup only if the data connection is established first. The voice connection can
be disconnected (hung up) while the data connection remains established but a voice connection cannot be
made without a data connection. The voice connection is essentially a VoIP call. This is routed directly to a
laptop/PC. Additional third-party hardware can be purchased to route the VoIP call to a landline – if this is
required RDT should be contacted for technical support.
The voice connection is typically the means for the Tempus user to alert the personnel receiving the data
that there is data to be received. Other means (such as a radio) can be used to notify personnel of an
incoming data connection.
