Receiving PTT Broadcasts When Not in an Active Call
When you receive a broadcast and you aren’t in an active call, the broadcast immediately plays, regardless of the broadcast
p
riority.
When you adjust the volume of a nonemergency broadcast, your phone retains the adjusted volume for all subsequent
nonemergency broadcasts. However, only system administrators can adjust the volume level of emergency broadcasts.
Reply to PTT Broadcasts
When a broadcast ends, the broadcast enters a 10-second waiting period. During this period, the channel remains open to
r
eceive or send additional broadcasts.
Task
1 During the 10-second waiting period, press and hold Talk.
2 Begin talking.
The phone sends the broadcast all people listening on the channel.
3 When you finish talking, release Talk.
The broadcast enters another waiting period until someone broadcasts again. If no activity occurs within the waiting
p
eriod, the channel closes and no more broadcasts can take place during this session.
End PTT Broadcasts
After you end a broadcast, the channel remains open so others can respond.
Task
» Do one of the following:
• Release Talk.
The broadcast enters a waiting period. You can initiate another broadcast on another channel when the waiting
p
eriod ends.
• Select End PTT.
The broadcast ends. You cannot resume the broadcast by pressing and holding Talk on the same channel. You can
i
mmediately initiate another broadcast on another channel.
