8. Priority of Functions

The system prioritizes audio sources as follows:

• Level 1: Phone Call / Two-way radio audio introduced by adapter.
• Level 2: Bluetooth Intercom.
• Level 3: Music / FM radio.

Analysis of Priorities:

1. During an active call, interphone talkback, Bluetooth talkback, music, and radio are all not operable. However, upon the arrival of an interphone talkback or Bluetooth talkback invitation, a prompt tone will be heard.
2. During an active interphone talkback, Bluetooth talkback, music, and radio are all not operable. However, a prompt tone will be heard upon a Bluetooth talkback invitation.
3. During an active Bluetooth talkback, music and radio are not operable. Talkback introduced by an interphone control line is not affected by priority and can be carried out simultaneously with calls, music, and radio.
