to better sound quality as noise picked up by own microphone is not mixed into earpiece of handset or ear-cups of
headset. Push-to-talk mode for handset is controlled by the push-to-talk key of the keyboard whereas push-to-talk mode
for headset is controlled by the push-to-talk button of the headset. For both buttons, press the button when speaking, and
release it when not speaking. Returning to full duplex with the microphone steady on is done by giving the push-to-talk
key a short push. Push-to-talk mode is indicated by the green indicator flashing, and full duplex is indicated by the green
call activity indicator steady on.
