make a PTT call
When U shows at the top of your home screen, you can make and receive PTT calls. To make a PTT call:
1Enter a PTT subscriber’s phone number in your home screen or select a contact or group from a list:
•PTT Contacts (press the PTT key to open the list)
Note: If you change your Open to setting, your PTT key does not open the contacts list (see page 56)
•Quick Group (press the PTT key and M > Quick Group) This lets you select more than 1 contact for the call.
•Go To Groups (press the PTT key and M > Go To Groups)
2Hold the PTT key and speak after you hear the tone. Release the PTT key to let others speak.
To speak during a PTT call, hold your PTT key and speak after the tone. Only 1 person can speak at a time.
To end the call, press u. If nobody speaks for approximately 20 seconds, the call ends.
To send a PTT alert instead of a standard PTT call, highlight a contact in PTT Contacts and press the Alert key. The contact’s phone rings or vibrates and the contact can speak first. If the contact does not respond, the call ends. You cannot send alerts to groups.
