A rotary knob serves as a volume control for the intercom signal in normal operation; when pushing and turning the volume knob it controls the PGM volume, and it serves as an encoder in programming mode. In conjunction with the keypad, the encoder enables selection of “soft key” functions as well as selection from among 22 other mode, status and parameter adjustments. The keypad also facilitates PTP communication (including a “speed dial” function) and sending of text messages. {image-2}
