SoundPoint IP 32x/33x User Guide
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether you're in an active call, or
if you're allowed to receive broadcasts during active calls.
You'll receive broadcasts on the channels you're subscribed to as well as Channel 24 (the default Priority
channel) and Channel 25 (the default Emergency channel). If you've enabled Do Not Disturb on your
phone, you'll only receive Emergency broadcasts. Non-emergency broadcasts won't display or play on
your phone.
When a broadcast ends, your phone emits an 'end of transmission' beep and enters a 10 second waiting
period. During this period, you can respond to the broadcast (see

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 displays in the center of your
screen and 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 displays in the
inactive call group as an active broadcast and 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
Pending broadcast. To listen to the broadcast, hold or end the call, or select the broadcast, and
press the Accept soft key.
If the broadcast is a Priority or Emergency broadcast, the broadcast displays in the inactive call group as
an active broadcast and 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

When a broadcast ends, the broadcast enters a 10 second waiting period. 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 tapping the End PTT soft key. After you
end a broadcast, the channel remains open so others can respond.
