10. Remote Operation
When both a Fist Microphone and Full Function Handset are
connected, the RAY215 can be controlled by either the handset or
microphone. When the handset is out of its cradle, it has priority over
the microphone. When the handset is in the cradle, the microphone
has priority and BASE appears on the handset’s LCD.
If you need to make a call with the fist microphone while the handset
is out of the cradle, press and hold the DSC/PRI key. The fist
microphone regains priority control and OVERRIDE appears on the
handset’s LCD.
