Ambience Listening (AL)

This feature, if enabled by your Service Provider, allows a console operator (or dispatcher) to establish a special call with a specific terminal to monitor voice activity in the local vicinity. The call is setup without any indication to the affected terminal, and any lower priority ongoing voice call or packet data transfer may be pre-empted.

After accepting the call, the terminal transmits in a half- duplex Private Call without any action from or indication to the user. The Ambience Listening call shall automatically end when the user initiates any voice call and uses the terminal normally.
