9 Audio Section Overview

The Base Band Chip of the GE864-QUAD / PY Telit Module provides two different audio blocks; both in transmit (Uplink) and in receive (Downlink) direction:

MT lines” should be used for handset function,

HF lines” is suited for hands –free function (car kit).

These two blocks can be active only one at a time, selectable by AXE hardware line or by AT command. The audio characteristics are equivalent in transmit blocks, but are different in the receive ones and this should be kept in mind when designing.
