Chapter 3: Using the Advanced Features of Your Phone

•If your phone isn’t allowed to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast displays in the inactive call group as a held broadcast, as shown next. To listen to the broadcast, hold or end the call.

If the broadcast is a Priority or Emergency broadcast, the broadcast displays in the inactive call group as an active broadcast and immediately plays. You’ll hear both the original call and the broadcast. To listen to only the broadcast, hold or end the call.

Replying to PTT Broadcasts

When a broadcast ends, the broadcast enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period, the channel remains open to receive or send additional broadcasts.

During a waiting period, you can press and hold the Talk soft key and talk to all the people listening on the channel. When you finish talking, release the Talk soft key. The broadcast will enter another waiting period until someone broadcasts again. If no activity occurs within the waiting period, the channel closes and no more broadcasts can take place.

Ending PTT Broadcasts

You can end a PTT broadcast by releasing the Talk soft key, or by tapping the End PTT soft key. After you end a broadcast, the channel remains open so others can respond.

If you release the Talk soft key without pressing the End PTT soft key:

•You can resume the broadcast by pressing and holding the Talk soft key (if the broadcast is in a wait period).

•You can’t initiate another broadcast on another channel until the waiting period ends.

If you press the End PTT soft key:

•You can’t resume the broadcast by pressing and holding the Talk soft key.

•You can immediately initiate another broadcast on another channel.

Adjusting the Volume of PTT Broadcasts

You can adjust the volume of PTT broadcasts while they play. During a broadcast, press either Volume Up or Volume Down to raise or lower the volume of the broadcast.

If you adjust the volume of a non-emergency broadcast, your phone retains the adjusted volume for all subsequent non-emergency broadcasts. However, only system administrators can adjust the volume level of an Emergency broadcast.

Changing Where Broadcasts are Played

While you send a broadcast, you can pick up the handset or press the Speakerphone or the Headset key and continue speaking. You can also press the Microphone Mute key to mute your audio so that the people receiving your broadcast won’t hear anything. This behavior is similar to a phone call.
