Individual Communication Overview
Sometimes Team Members will need to communicate individually with another Team Member without the entire team listening to that dialogue. To communicate individually to another Team Member, place a call to another Relay device.
- Press and hold the Relay Assistant button before stating “call” and then the name of the other Relay device. Release the button to place the call.
- Example: Press and hold the Relay Assistant button. Then say, “Call John.” Release the Relay Assistant button.
- This will establish an individual call between both users.
- The receiving party will receive a noise indication along with the calling user’s name once the call activates.
- To speak in this channel, hold the Talk Button, say a message, then release the button. The LED circle will be green to indicate the message is being recorded. Release the button to send the message.
