Broadcasting Messages Using Push-to-Talk and Group Paging

A page is a one-way audio announcement. The Group Paging feature enables you to page users subscribed to a page group. The Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature is a collaborative tool that enables you to exchange broadcasts to users subscribed to a PTT channel, much like a walkie-talkie. Ask your system administrator about setting up both features on your phone.

Your system administrator can define up to 25 paging groups for Group Paging mode or Channels for PTT mode. The administrator can assign a label to each group or channel that easily identifies the phones in the group or channel, such as All, HR Dept., Shipping Staff, or Executives.

Each page group or PTT channel has one of the following priorities:

∙Normal By default, broadcasts sent to Groups/Channels 1 to 23 are considered Normal broadcasts. If two users begin a broadcast on the same group/channel at the same time, the phone with the lower serial number continues to transmit while the other phone enters the receiving state. By default, all phones are configured to receive broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 1.
