The system has several operating modes. The number of available operating
modes depends on the system configuration (single–lane vs dual–lane, standard

from the menu sign or other headset operators. This mode is available with all
system configurations.

available with all system configurations.

customer at the menu sign. Release T1 or T2 to listen.
