TalkMaster receives the audio, records it, places an entry in the Calls Waiting Queue and sends the "Your call is being connected" message to the intercom. If desired, the TalkMaster operator can play the audio back by double-clicking the entry in the Calls Waiting Queue. When the TalkMaster operator activates the Listen button, the Intercom’s microphone automatically switches on so the Intercom user can operate in Hands Free mode.

When the Call Button feature is enabled for an intercom, the PTT button’s function is changed to a Call button. When the Call button is pressed, a short signal is transmitted to TalkMaster.

Intercoms in Call Button mode play a two-tone beep whenever they connect to TalkMaster.
