6. TMO Services 
TMO supports either half-duplex or full-duplex operation and allows terminals to communicate via the 
TETRA network. For successful voice and data services in TMO, the terminal must register with the 
network at first, and then operates within the network coverage. 
6.1 Individual Call 
An individual call is a half-duplex or full-duplex call initiated by an individual user to another individual 
user. You can initiate or receive an individual call to or from an individual contact.
