If the call is cleared by the calling subscriber or cleared in an abnormal way you will hear a congestion tone in the ear- piece/speaker as an indication of a call clearing.
Call Types Receiving Auxiliary Phone Calls In the following an incoming call to the auxiliary telephone connected to the AUX/FAX connector, x5, is described. NOTE: The text in brackets specifies actions taken by the user. The messages in boxes specify the status of the auxiliary phone call displayed in the handset.
Call Types Making Handset Calls NOTE: The messages in boxes specify the status of the handset call displayed in the handset. These messages are only displayed if the handset is out of the menu system.

Call Types The data service is a facility which is used to transfer letters, documents, programs etc. People who are already familiar with data modems will find it easy to use the Capsat® Telephone data service. The Capsat® Telephone works almost like an ordinary data modem. The differences are caused by the medium of transfer and therefore some modem features e.g.

It can be inserted directly from outside the menu system, or it can be inserted from within the menu system either at the top level or from the sub menu of the phone book.
Menu System If the entry is successfully inserted the Capsat® Telephone displays the message 'Entry stored'. Otherwise an error message is displayed. NOTE: The phone book cannot be accessed if empty. The first entry must therefore be inserted directly. Edit Entry The Edit-function can be used to display, update or overwrite an entry.
Menu System You can display an entry after having selected the Edit-function simply by using the -key or the -keys without making any change to the contents. The entry will only be updated if changes really are made. If you make any change of the contents the entry will be updated and stored.
Menu System The counters are only used for outgoing calls. Incoming calls do not change the prepaid counters.

Technical Reference When the TT-3060A Capsat Mobile Telephone is in talk mode or data mode the Standard Charge process cannot deliver the amount of power taken from the Battery Pack. The X1 input is protected against most common fault conditions such as Power Supply with wrong polarity or over voltage conditions, but the input may need 2-3 minutes to recover.
