TM 11-5805-243-13 Section Ill. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 1-11. OPERATING PRINCIPLES e The TA-1/PT Telephone Set must be removed from its carrying case and connected to a field wire network to be operable. e Connection is simplified through the use of dual binding posts. e To transmit a call, a press-to-activate switch is repeatedly pressed to generate a signal of intent to communicate with a distant party. e The distant party acknowledges verbally. e To transmit a message, a press-to-talk switch is pressed. e The telephone is then used as a conventional phone would be used with the exception of the need to release the press-to-talk switch to permit the incoming message to be heard. e Communication continues through the alternate pressing and releasing of the press-to-talk switch to speak or listen.
