Receiving Pages
The phone will receive pages differently depending on whether or not you are in an active call.
To receive pages when you are not in an active call:
If you receive a page and you are not in an active call, the page displays on your screen no matter what
the paging group is. You can do the following:
• Hold the page and resume a held page.
• Press the End key to stop receiving the page. This ends the page at your phone only.
• Place a new call by opening the dialer.
Setting up the Accept While Busy Feature
In order to receive pages while you are in an active call, enable the Accept While Busy feature. When
Accept While Busy is enabled, pages will interrupt active telephone calls and you will be able to hear the
audio of both the telephone call and the page. The party on the other end of the telephone call cannot
hear the page unless that party has also enabled Accept While Busy.
If Accept While Busy is disabled, PTT broadcasts received while you are in an active call are placed on
hold. To play the PTT broadcast, you can either place the active call on hold or end the active call.
To receive pages while you are in an active call:
1 Navigate to Settings > Basic Settings > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration > Group Paging.
2 Highlight and select Accept While Busy.
3 Enable or disable the Accept While Busy feature.
o If you have enabled your handset to receive pages while in an active call, the page will display
in a second call cell as an active page. You will hear both the original call and the page. Press
the End key to end the page.
o If you have disabled your handset from receiving pages while you are in an active call, the page
will display in a second call cell as a page on hold. Highlight the page on hold and press the
Resume soft key to play the page. Press the End key to end the page
If you have disabled your phone from receiving pages while you are in an active call, and
you receive a Priority or Emergency page while in an active call, the page will display in a
second call cell as an active call. You will hear both the original call and the page audio.
Press the End key to end the page.
