Sending PTT Broadcasts

Before you can send a PTT broadcast, you need to choose a channel to broadcast on. Or, you can hold the Talk soft key to immediately begin broadcasting on Channel 1, the default channel.

You can change your default channel to any channel you want (see Updating the Default Channel). When you change the default channel, you’re automatically subscribed to it.

To send a PTT broadcast:

1From Lines view, tap Talk to select a channel to broadcast on.

Timesaver: Automatically Sending a PTT Broadcast

To automatically send a PTT broadcast on the default channel, press and hold Talk, and go to step 4.

2From the PTT Channels List screen, select the channel to send the broadcast on.

The list displays the default channel, the most recent channel you sent a broadcast on, and other channels you can broadcast on.

3To start the broadcast, press and hold Talk. Be sure to press Talk throughout the entire broadcast.

You’ll hear a ‘transmitting’ beep, and then the phone will display the channel information such as the channel label.

4Begin speaking.

Note: What Happens if I Release Talk During A Broadcast?

If you release Talk while you’re sending the broadcast, the broadcast temporarily stops and enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period, the channel remains open to give people a chance to reply. At any time during the waiting period, you can resume your broadcast by pressing and holding Talk. If no one broadcasts during the waiting period, the channel closes and the broadcast ends.

5When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:

○Release Talk. or

○Tap End PTT.

After you tap End PTT , you can immediately initiate another broadcast on another channel, even if the previous broadcast is still in its waiting period.
