The Group Paging and Push-to-Talk (PTT) features enable you to broadcast a
message to as many people as have subscribed to a channel or have been

can't respond to the message.
PTT mode enables you to broadcast a message to people subscribed to a
channel. The people receiving the message can respond to the message by
broadcasting a message over the same channel. In this way, PTT is a

Paging mode) or Channels (for PTT mode). Your system administrator may
assign a label to each group or channel that easily identifies the phones in the
group or channel (for example, All, HR Dept, Shipping Staff, or Executives).
Each group or channel will have one of the following priorities:

phone receives more than one Normal broadcast, the first broadcast
received is accepted, and all others are ignored (not played and not
stored). By default, all phones receive broadcasts sent to Group/Channel

• Priority (for Group/Channel 24)—Broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 24
are considered Priority broadcasts. All phones receive Priority broadcasts
unless Do Not Disturb is enabled. If a phone receives a Priority broadcast
while an Emergency broadcast is already playing, the Priority broadcast is
