PTT call types

You can make two types of walkie-talkie calls:

•A PTT call automatically connects to the other party. The receiving party does not have the option to ignore the call. It can be

•a private PTT call to a single PTT user, - or -

•a group PTT call to more than one PTT user.

•A Call me alert sends the receiving party a text message and a message alert beep to indicate that someone wants to speak with them. The receiving party has the option to either answer or ignore the call. Call me alerts are private calls only.

Making PTT calls and alerts

Making a private PTT call

1.There are five ways start a private PTT call:

•Enter a 10-digit phone number (including area code), then press the walkie-talkie button.

•From the home screen, press the walkie- talkie button to open the Push to Talk menu. Highlight a contact or group, then press the walkie-talkie button.

•Select Menu → Push to Talk →

PTT Contacts and search for a saved PTT contact. Highlight the contact and press the walkie-talkie button.

•Select Menu → Contacts → PTT Contacts. Highlight the contact and press the walkie-talkie button.

•Select Menu → Recent Calls, select a list (Incoming Calls, Outgoing Calls, or Missed Calls), highlight a call, and press the walkie-talkie button.

2.Listen for the “Ready to Speak” tone.

3.Speak while pressing the walkie-talkie button.

4.Release the walkie-talkie button when finished speaking. This allows the called party to reply.

5.Wait for the “Ready to Speak” tone, then press the walkie-talkie button again

to speak.

6.To end the PTT call, press the End/Power key or the Amp’d/OK key . If the other party ends the call, no action

is required.

Tip: If you originate a call to a person who is actively engaged in a cellular call or a PTT call, you hear the “Ready to Speak” tone and your voice message is stored. The other party can choose to answer or ignore the new incoming call. If they answer the call, they will hear your voice message, and then you and the other party will hear the “Floor Free” tone (a single high-pitched beep).
