The following scenarios happens when you receive a broadcast during an active call:
• When your phone is set up to receive normal broadcasts during an active call, the broadcast immediately plays. You can
listen to both the active call and the broadcast.
• When your phone isn’t set up to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast displays as a pending broadcast.
• When the broadcast is a priority or emergency broadcast, the broadcast plays immediately. You can listen to both the
active call and the broadcast.
Task
» Do one of the following:
• For broadcasts that play automatically during a call, hold the call to listen to only the broadcast.
• For pending broadcasts, select Accept or hold the active call.
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
priority.
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
receive 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
period, 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
period ends.
• Select End PTT.
The broadcast ends. You cannot resume the broadcast by pressing and holding Talk on the same channel. You can
immediately initiate another broadcast on another channel.
Push-To-Talk Settings
Update your PTT settings to change your default channel, update channel subscriptions, and enable broadcasts to play
during active calls.
Note:
The features described in this section require access to the Basic settings menu on the phone. If your phone
requires a password to access the Basic settings menu, contact your system administrator for assistance customizing your
phone.
