Multiple handset use

Push-to-talk (PTT)

PTT call to multiple devices

When there are multiple handsets registered to the phone system, PTT supports one-to-group calls. PTT supports a maximum of one-to-five calls when one to five handsets are registered, and a maximum of one-to-four calls when six or more handsets are registered. The first four registered handsets will be able to use this feature. Other handsets can only use PTT for one-to-one calls.
