location number 2. The lower part of the display now toggles the
message CALLING and the NAME of the called control unit.

the handset and speak into the microphone. As LF is activated in
the called control unit during dialling, the receiver of the call can
hear you in the speaker without hooking off. This makes it
possible to use the VHF system as a sort of paging system.
