Description
When a PTT user has been given access
to communicate with the other devices in
the talkgroup (e.g., becomes the TALKER)
This state allows you to listen to activity
on one talkgroup.
When a talkgroup is not active in the
network, the devices that have the
talkgroup as their Home Talkgroup will
display IDLE.
When a device user wishes to NOT
listen to the current activity on his
Home Talkgroup, the user may hit the
right soft key "Ignore". By selecting that
option, the user will be excluded from
communication on the Home Talkgroup
for the duration of the current session.
When a device user wishes to listen to a
talkgroup in Home State, he may select
this left soft key, when displayed. Once
depressed, the new talkgroup becomes
the Home Talkgroup.
When a talkgroup is active and a
participant has the floor, the devices that
are participating in the talkgroup will
display LISTENING.
When a talkgroup is active but no one
has the floor, the devices that have the
talkgroup as their Home Talkgroup will
display OPEN.
This message is displayed on the device
when the user pushes the PTT Button but
is out of the talkgroup's defined area at
the time.
This side of the Iridium Extreme® PTT
enables the use of phone calling, SMS,
voicemail and SOS.
