7 PUSH-TO-TALK (PTT) CALLS

Push-to-Talk(PTT) lets you talk weakly-talkie style with other Push to Talk subscribers.

PTT and the other features indicated are network and subscription dependent features that are not available in all areas. PTT connectivity requires PTT compatible phones.

PTT Basics

Once you are connected, just push and hold the PTT key I to communicate.

Phone Position

When using PTT, hold the phone in a vertical position, one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) from your mouth.

Call Sound

PTT calls come through the handsfree speaker by default.

If you are on a call and use Call Waiting to accept any type of incoming call, you hear the sound from the incoming call the same way as the sound from the call you are on. For example, if you are using the phone earpiece for a standard wireless call and then accept an incoming PTT call, you hear the sound from the PTT call through the phone earpiece.

If you connect a headset (sold separately) to the phone, you hear PTT call sound through the headset speaker, and you speak through the headset microphone. You must press the PTT key I to gain floor control of a PTT call and speak to other parties.

PTT Call Types

You can make two types of PTT calls.

The first type of call, a PTT call, automatically connects to the other party. The other party is not able to ignore the call. The call can be one of two types:

•a private call to a single PTT user

-or-

•a group PTT call to more than one PTT user

The second type of call, a Call me alert, sends the receiving party a text message and a message alert beep to indicate that someone wants to speak with him/her.

The receiving party can answer or ignore the call. Call me alerts are private calls only.
