Receiving PTT Broadcasts When Not in an Active Call
When you receive a broadcast and you are not in an active call, the broadcast immediately plays,
regardless of the broadcast priority.
When you adjust the volume of a non-emergency broadcast, your phone retains the adjusted volume for
all subsequent non-emergency broadcasts. However, only system administrators can adjust the volume
level of an Emergency broadcast.

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.
Procedure
1. During the 10-second waiting period, press and hold Talk.
2. Begin talking.
The broadcast is sent to 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.

End PTT Broadcasts

After you end a broadcast, the channel remains open so others can respond.
Procedure

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.
