PTT call to a group of handsets

When there are multiple handsets registered to the phone system, PTT supports
one-to-group calls. PTT supports a maximum of one-to-four calls when two to
five handsets are registered, and a maximum of one-to-three calls when six or
more handsets are registered. The first four registered handsets will be able to
use this feature.
To call a group of handsets:
1. When the handset is not in use:
• Press and hold PUSH TO TAL� until your handset screen shows
Connecting to group...
When the connection is made, both the caller and the destination parties hear a
beep. The speakerphones on all other eligible handsets automatically activate.
2. You need to press and hold PUSH TO TAL� when you want to speak. Speak
towards the handset. Your voice is broadcast to all eligible handsets.
3. Release PUSH TO TAL� after speaking.
4. Any extension can reply (see Answer a PTT call below).

Answer a PTT call

You can respond to a PTT call whenever the speakerphone light is off, as
described below.

shows Press and hold [PTT] to talk.
2. When the other party is speaking, your speakerphone light is on, and your
handset shows PTT From HS X To HS X (the first X represents the initiating
handset number, the second X represents your handset number; a maximum
of four handset numbers appear).
3. When your speakerphone light is off (the screen shows Press and hold
[PTT] to talk), press and hold PUSH TO TAL� on your handset. You will
hear a chirp. Speak towards the handset. Your voice is broadcast to all
destination handsets.
After speaking, release PUSH TO TAL�. Your handset will beep.
After the beep, if your speakerphone light is off, you can press and hold
PUSH TO TAL� to continue speaking, or a destination handset can respond.
