Receiving Ptt Transmissions - Polycom SpectraLink 8440 User Manual

The wait period keeps the channel open and gives any handset subscribed to that channel time to
join the conversation. To open a different channel or to send a new broadcast within the wait
period, end the wait period on the current channel by pressing the End key.

Receiving PTT Transmissions

Your phone will receive PTT transmissions differently depending on the priority of the PTT Channel,
whether you are on an active call, or whether you have enabled or disabled your phone to receive PTT
transmissions during an active call.
PTT Channel Priority
The phone will alert you to PTT transmissions from Normal Channels, the Priority Channel, and the
Emergency Channel. If you enable Do Not Disturb, you will not receive PTT transmissions from the
Normal or Priority Channels. You will receive transmissions on the Emergency Channel even if Do Not
Disturb is enabled.
Receiving Pages
The phone will receive pages differently depending on whether or not you are in an active call.
To answer a PTT broadcast:
• Press and hold the Talk button during the ten-second wait period.
An incoming PTT broadcast displays a green call icon in the Session Manager, shown next.
