Before performing the test eCall, ensure that:

2.6.1.

Perform a test eCall by applying a manual trigger via the in-vehicle HMI and wait until the loudspeaker(s) and microphone(s) are connected and ready for voice communication or perform a call from the PSAP test point to the eCall in-vehicle system.’;

‘2.6.3.

Clear down the test eCall using the appropriate PSAP test point command (e.g. hang up).

2.6.4.

If the requirements cannot be fulfilled due to impairments introduced by the PSAP test point or the transmission medium, the test eCall may be repeated, if required in an adapted test setup.’;
