The Team Talk function is a voice-activated, full duplex, short range radio. Without having to push any buttons, voice communication is sent between firefighters, to minimize risks and increase the chances for a fast, successful mission. The Team Talk communication works for a small group of fire fighters moving together as a team. Each group is assigned with a "Group number" which is set on the Spirocom unit and visible on the display. Group configuration is made in advance and remembered by the Spirocom units, on the way to an incident the only required action is to start the unit.
To enable long range radio communication at least one Spirocom radio adapter must be attached to the long range radio carried by the fire fighter team entering the fire scene. The radio adapter is set to the same group number as the group uses on the mask units.
The PTT button has a slide type design for significantly easier activation and better ergonomics. A distinct "lift and hold" action gives access to the long range radio and makes it possible to use any part of the hand or even the shoulder when both hands are occupied.
A flexible speaker arm makes it possible to easy set the desired speaker position against the ear.
