Method for controlling a hands free system, radio apparatus, and hands free apparatus
First Claim
1. A cellular phone having a first interface connectable to a radio station via a radio link and a second interface connectable to a hands-free apparatus by using a control channel and a voice channel, comprising:
- first connection means for establishing the control channel with the hands-free apparatus via the second interface;
control means for setting a communication mode to a first mode wherein the cellular phone can receive an outgoing call from the hands-free apparatus;
second connection means for establishing the voice channel with the hands-free apparatus if the outgoing call is received from the hands-free apparatus via the control channel;
transmitting means for transmitting the outgoing call to the radio station; and
canceling means for canceling the outgoing call to the radio station if the voice channel establishment with the hands-free apparatus fails.

Abstract
A radio apparatus, to be used as a first ending node of a communication network, is connectable to a hands-free apparatus by a local radio link to form a hands-free system. A call made on the hands-free apparatus for an second ending node in the communication network is sent to the radio apparatus through a control channel on the local radio link. The radio apparatus and the hands-free apparatus arrange a voice channel to be established on the local radio link. The call is then sent to the second ending node. In a case where no voice channel is established within a predetermined time period after arranging the voice channel, the radio apparatus cancels the call to prevent a connection between the radio apparatus and the second ending node from being kept and charged.
