Receiving PTT Broadcasts

Enable PTT Broadcasts to Play During Active Calls

The Accept While Busy setting determines what happens when you are in a call and receive a PTT
broadcast. The default setting is disabled by default, and when disabled, your phone does not play
broadcasts while you are in a call, but holds them in a Pending state instead. When you enable the Accept
While Busy setting, a PTT broadcast interrupts active calls and you hear the audio of the call and the
broadcast.
