1.13 Remarks on Voice Communications

Automatic acknowledge (DSC operation) is automatically changed to manual acknowledge when voice communications begin. (The “auto” indication, however, remains on the screen.) This is done to prevent break in communications. Automatic acknowledge is au- tomatically restored once voice communications are terminated.

Priority

The priority of the equipment is as follows: DSC section of FM- 8700>Wing handset>Handset of FM-8700>Remote Station RB- 700

Note: Time-out Timer

The FM-8700 is equipped with an automatic timing device that deactivates the transmitter and reverts the transceiver to the re- ceive mode after an uninterrupted transmission period of 5 min- utes. Please contact your dealer if necessary.
