Allowing PTT Broadcasts to Play During Active Calls

The Accept While Busy option allows PTT broadcasts to come in as active calls
(if enabled) or held calls (if disabled). If enabled, a PTT broadcast will interrupt
telephone calls and you'll hear the audio of both the telephone call and the PTT
broadcast. The party on the other end of the telephone call cannot hear the PTT
broadcast unless that party has also enabled Accept While Busy. If disabled, PTT
broadcasts are held during an active call. To hear the broadcast, scroll to the
broadcast and press the Accept soft key.
To allow or disallow PTT broadcasts to play during an active call:
1. Press , and then select Settings > Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT
Configuration > PTT Push to Talk.
2. From the PTT Channel Configuration screen, select Accept While Busy,
and enable or disable the setting.
The default setting is Disabled. When enabled, your phone will accept and
play broadcasts while you're in an active call. When disabled, your phone
won't play broadcasts while you're in a call, but will hold them instead.
3. Press to save your change.
