Using the Walkie-Talkie Button

During a Nextel Walkie-Talkie call, press and hold the Walkie-Talkie button when you want to speak to your contact. The BlackBerry 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 BlackBerry device chirps to indicate that you have finished speaking.

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.
