hands on.

4.3.3.6 Terminating a call

All calls are terminated either by hanging up the handset, pressing the speaker button or automatically by the Alphatron
exchange system.
4.3.3.7 Push-to-talk
When operating in a noisy environment, it can be convenient to control own microphone, so noise and disturbing sounds
will not affect the hands-free switching. When a call is started in hands-free, it can be turned into push-to-talk by pressing
the push-to-talk key, and hands-free can be regained by giving the push-to-talk key a short push. The display will show
the mode currently in use.

4.3.3.8 Switching from handset to hands-free

A conversation can be transferred between the conversation handset modes, using either hands-free, push-to-talk, or
handset. The principle is that the last active device is the one being used. For switching from headset or handset to
hands-free it is necessary to pass via push-to-talk mode by first pressing the push-to-talk key and after that entering
hands-free by giving the push-to-talk key a short push. This is because when in conversation, pressing the hands-free
key means terminating the call.
