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.
Procedure
1. Navigate to Settings >Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration > PTT Push to Talk.
2. From the PTT Channel Configuration screen, select Accept While Busy, and select Enable.
