Receiving Ptt Broadcasts - Polycom VVX Series User Manual

4. Begin speaking.
5. When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:
• Release Talk.
When you release Talk while sending the broadcast, the broadcast temporarily stops and
enters a 10-second waiting period. During this period, the channel remains open to give
others a chance to reply. At any time during the waiting period, you can resume your
broadcast by pressing and holding Talk. If no one broadcasts during the waiting period, the
channel closes and the broadcast ends.
• Select End PTT.
After you select End PTT, you can immediately initiate another broadcast on another
channel, even if the previous broadcast is in the waiting period.

Receiving PTT Broadcasts

To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed to that channel.
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether you are in an active call,
and whether your phone is set up to receive broadcasts during active calls.
When you enable Do Not Disturb on your phone, you receive only Emergency broadcasts. Non-
emergency broadcasts do not display or play on your phone.
Listen to a PTT Broadcast during an Active Call
How you handle a broadcast when you are in an active call depends on the broadcast priority and if your
phone is set up to receive a broadcast when you are in an active call.
The following occurs when you receive a broadcast during an active call:
• When your phone is set up to receive Normal broadcasts during an active call, the broadcast
immediately plays. You hear both the active call and the broadcast.
• When your phone is not set up to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast is displayed
as a Pending broadcast.
• When the broadcast is a Priority or Emergency broadcast, the broadcast plays immediately. You
hear the active call and the broadcast.
Procedure
1. Do one of the following,
• For broadcasts that play automatically during a call, hold the call to hear only the broadcast.
• For Pending broadcasts, select Accept or hold the call.
Receiving PTT Broadcasts When Not in an Active Call
When you receive a broadcast and you are not in an active call, the broadcast immediately plays,
regardless of the broadcast priority.
When you adjust the volume of a non-emergency broadcast, your phone retains the adjusted volume for
all subsequent non-emergency broadcasts. However, only system administrators can adjust the volume
level of an Emergency broadcast.
