Advanced Call Handling

Tips

EM automatically logs you out after a certain amount of time. You system administrator establishes this time limit.

Changes that you make to your EM profile (from the User Options web pages) take effect the next time that you log in to EM on a phone.

Settings that are controlled on the phone only are not maintained in your EM profile.

Using the Application Button

The Application Button (on left side of phone) can be used to start applications such as Push to Talk or other services on your phone.

Depending on how the Application Button is configured by your system administrator, you may be able to use it from the main phone screen only, or you may use it from any menu or service, or even when the phone is locked.

The Application Button can also be configured to start an application immediately after you press it, or only after you hold it for several seconds.

For more information, see your system administrator.

Using the Push to Talk Service

The Push to Talk service provides immediate communication (similar to a two-wayradio) with members of your organization. Your system administrator must set up the Push to Talk service by using an XML application, and then you must subscribe to this service.
