To send a PTT broadcast:
1. Press the Talk soft key to select a channel to broadcast on.
To automatically send a PTT broadcast on the default channel, press and hold the
Talk soft key, and then go to step 4.
2. From the PTT Channels List screen, select the channel to send the
broadcast on.
The list displays the default channel, the most recent channel you sent a
broadcast on, and other channels you can broadcast on.
3. To start the broadcast, press and hold the Talk soft key. Be sure to press
the Talk soft key throughout the entire broadcast.
You'll hear a transmitting beep, and the phone will display the channel
information, such as the channel label.
4. Begin speaking.
If you release the Talk soft key while you're sending the broadcast, the broadcast
temporarily stops and enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period, the
channel remains open to give people a chance to reply. At any time during the
waiting period, you can resume your broadcast by pressing and holding the
Talk soft key. If no one broadcasts during the waiting period, the channel closes
and the broadcast ends.
5. When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:
— Release the Talk soft key.
— Press the End PTT soft key.
After you press the End PTT soft key, you can immediately initiate
another broadcast on another channel, even if the previous broadcast is
still in its waiting period.
Receiving PTT Broadcasts
To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed
to that channel. To subscribe to a channel, see
on page 44.
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether
you're in an active call, or if you're allowed to receive broadcasts during active
calls.
You'll receive broadcasts on the channels you're subscribed to as well as
Channel 24 (the Priority channel) and Channel 25 (the Emergency channel). If
you've enabled Do Not Disturb on your phone, you'll only receive Emergency
broadcasts. Non-emergency broadcasts won't display or play on your phone.
