Receiving PTT Broadcasts When You're Not in an Active Call
If you receive a broadcast and you're not in an active call, the broadcast
immediately plays, regardless of the broadcast priority.
Receiving PTT Broadcasts During Active Calls
How you handle a broadcast when you're in an active call depends on the
broadcast priority and if you're allowed to receive a broadcast when you're in
an active call.
If the broadcast is a Normal broadcast:
• If your phone is enabled to receive broadcasts during active calls, the
broadcast immediately plays. You'll hear both the original call and the
broadcast. To listen to only the broadcast, hold or end the call.
• If your phone isn't allowed to receive broadcasts during active calls, the
broadcast displays as a held broadcast. To listen to the broadcast, scroll to
the broadcast and press the Accept soft key.
If the broadcast is a Priority or Emergency broadcast, the broadcast
immediately plays. You'll hear both the original call and the broadcast. To
listen to only the broadcast, hold or end the call.
Replying to PTT Broadcasts

During this period, the channel remains open to receive or send additional
broadcasts.
During a waiting period, you can press and hold the Talk soft key and talk to
all the people listening on the channel. When you finish talking, release the
Talk soft key. The broadcast will enter another waiting period until someone
broadcasts again. If no activity occurs within the waiting period, the channel
closes and no more broadcasts can take place.

Ending PTT Broadcasts

You can end a PTT broadcast by releasing the Talk soft key, or by pressing the
