Using the Walkie-Talkie
During a Nextel Walkie-Talkie call, press and hold the Walkie-Talkie
button when you want to speak to your contact. The device emits a high-
pitched beep or a "chirp" when you press the Walkie-Talkie button to
indicate that you are the current speaker. Release the Walkie-Talkie
button when you want to listen to your contact. When you release the
Walkie-Talkie button, your contact's device chirps to indicate that you
have finished speaking.
USER TIP: To avoid announcements from callers over your
speakerphone, set your speakerphone to OFF. In the phone
options, click Push To Talk. Set the Speakerphone field to
Off.
