Enabling PTT Broadcasts to Play During Active Calls

The Accept While Busy setting determines what happens when you are in a call and receive a PTT broadcast. When you enable the Accept While Busy setting, a PTT broadcast interrupts telephone calls and you hear the audio of the telephone call and the broadcast. When you disable the Accept While Busy setting, the incoming broadcast is held in a Pending state; it does not disrupt the telephone call and you cannot hear the broadcast. To hear the PTT broadcast, tap the PTT broadcast and tap Accept. The active telephone call is automatically held. Or, hold or end the telephone call.

To enable or disable PTT broadcasts during an active call:

1Tap Settings from Home view, and tap Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration > PTT Push to Talk.

2From the PTT Channel Configuration screen, tap Accept While Busy, and enable or disable the setting. The default setting is Disabled. When enabled, your phone accepts and play broadcasts while you are in an active call. When disabled, your phone does not play broadcasts while you are in a call, but holds them in a Pending state instead.

Group Paging Mode

Your administrator can enable your phone to operate in a broadcast mode called Group Paging mode. In this mode, you can broadcast one-way announcements to a specified group of phones, called a Paging Group. In Group Paging mode, users must subscribe to Paging Groups to send and receive pages.

Sending and Receiving Pages

To send and receive pages, you need to subscribe to certain paging groups. By default, you are subscribed to Paging Groups 1, 24, and 25. This means that you can send and receive pages to Paging Groups 1, 24, and 25.

Sending Pages

When you send a group page, it is automatically sent to Paging Group 1. This is your default paging group.

You can change the default paging group to any group you want. To change the default paging group, see Changing the Default Paging Group. If you change your default paging group, you are automatically subscribed to the group you selected.

You cannot send a Page-mode page while you are in an active call.
