is as follows depending on the priority setting.
Priority Setting Action
1 (high)[URGENT], [BROADCAST]*1Communication, 
calling, paging

monitoring
Earlier call has priority over later call if the priority setting * is the same. When the communication path is occupied, 
it is notifi ed by a sound.
Communication takes priority over calling.
* However, when a call with higher priority comes in, the 
communication will be forcibly stopped.
