Messaging - Mitel IP8630M Operation Manual

By selecting "Push To Talk" it can be disabled or enabled by selecting either "Off" or "On",
respectively. For this feature to work it needs to be enabled on at least two handsets on the system.
When the "Push To Talk" feature has been enabled in "Settings" enter idle to use it. In idle, press and
hold the mute-button on the left side of the handset and a "Calling" screen is displayed shortly
followed by a "Connected" screen. As long as mute is pressed it is possible to talk to the other
handsets on the system that has the "Push To Talk" feature enabled. To end this mode just stop
pressing on the mute button. In this way, other users on the system have the possibility to respond to
you by pressing and holding their mute button. When another user talks on the "Push To Talk" system,
the screen below is displayed, and the counterpart is heard automatically through the loud speaker.
It is only possible for one person at a time to talk on the "Push To Talk" system. Pressing and holding
mute when another user on the system is using it will only mute the loud speaker.
NOTE: When the "Push To Talk" feature is enabled on one handset on a system of base stations only
six calls can be ongoing at the same time instead of eight calls which is the limit if "Push To Talk" is
disabled on all handsets on the system.
