6.1.1 During a Voice Call
When a call is placed, a Call Progress Message is displayed on the Message Line and the speaker emits Call Progress tones
(see Appendix A for more details).
When the called radio is contacted, both radios will be connected and will display the audio enabled icon.
When the called person answers, both radios will be connected and will display the audio enabled icon.
A conversation can now take place with each operator taking turns to press their Press-To- Talk (PTT) keys and speaking.
