Headset 

The headset can be operated in a push-to-talk (PTT), hands-free 
(HF) or auto hands-free (AHF) mode. 

In the PTT mode, you must press and hold one of the A buttons on 
the headset while talking to a customer, and release the button 
to hear the customer’s response.  The push-to-talk mode is an 
example of  “ half-duplex ”  operation. 

In the HF and AHF modes, you can transmit and receive 
communication at the same time, as in a normal telephone 
conversation.  In the HF mode, transmission and reception are 
activated by touching and releasing one of the A buttons on the 
headset.  In the AHF mode, transmission and reception are 
activated automatically when a customer drives into the drive-thru 
lane.  The hands-free and auto hands-free modes are both examples 
of “ full-duplex ”  operation.
