With a conventional hands-free system formed by a radio apparatus and a hands-free apparatus connectable to each other by a local radio link, accepting a call on the hands-free apparatus is ineffective after the radio apparatus starts to send a reply message. There is provided a method for hands-free control to solve this problem. The method comprises measuring time since transferring a call arrived at the radio apparatus to the hands-free apparatus, and establishing a voice channel on the local radio link in a case where an operation is done to accept the call on the hands-free apparatus while the reply message is being sent.
