Operation.

Taking Telephone Calls on Common Headset.

Your DRC-32 can be interconnected with a local desk-top telephone instrument, via

which access to the telephone system can be gained. The desk-top telephone will

continue to operate in the same way with the exception that the DRC-32 headset can

now also be switched to the telephone.

When the telephone rings, press its pick-up key to answer the call, then press

[SELECT] on the DRC-32. Pressing the DRC-32 select key will cause the headset to

transfer from radio operation to telephone. The display will show the message

“telephone” and the select LED will extinguish. If the DRC-32 operator has turned

off the DRC-32 loudspeaker, it will automatically re-engage when the headset is

transferred to telephone.

The re-engagement of the loudspeaker provides continued monitoring of radio traffic

whilst the operator is using the telephone system. The headset can be returned to radio

operation by a second press of the [SELECT] key. It should be noted that the transfer

of the headset back to radio will not cause the telephone call to hang-up, and so the

operator can swap between radio and telephone call several times to take further

telephone information and give command instructions over the radio.

To hang-up the telephone call use the pick-up key or close key on the telephone

instrument, and transfer the headset back into radio operation.

Making a Telephone Call

To make a telephone call, press [SELECT] on the DRC-32, and then the pick-up key

on the telephone instrument. After dial tone is heard in the headset, use the telephone

instrument dial pad to dial the required telephone number. To close the call press the

telephone instrument pick-up key and then press [SELECT] on the DRC-32 to

transfer the headset back to radio operation. During the progress of the telephone call,

the radio traffic continues to be audible through the DRC-32 loudspeaker, and the

headset may be transferred back to radio without losing the telephone call by simply

pressing [SELECT].

Telephone Patch.

The DRC-32 has the ability to connect a mobile resource via their radio set to the

telephone system. The mobile is then able to hear and speak via the radio system onto

the telephone system. To achieve this, the operator has to set up the call manually, and

then transfer the call to the radio system.

If a mobile requests such a call, then whilst the mobile is available on air and the

appropriate channel on the DRC-32 is selected, press the [SELECT] key to transfer

the headset to the telephone system. Press the telephone pick-up key and a dial tone

should be heard in the headset. Use the telephone’s dial key pad to dial the number.

Speak to the called party and ask them to hold, press the DRC-32 [SELECT] key to

transfer your headset back to radio, and speak to the mobile. Press the [TELCON] key

to interconnect the mobile radio to the telephone system.
