Using the Push-to-Talk Features

of your SpectraLink 8030 Wireless Telephone

The PTT feature allows SpectraLink 8030 Wireless Telephones to operate in a group broadcast mode called PTT mode. The handsets behave like walkie-talkies, where a single handset can transmit to multiple listeners. If the system administrator has disabled PTT, the PTT options will not appear in the Config menu.

Press and release the TALK button to display the default channel, the last channel used, any additional subscribed channels, and the Priority Channel.

Press and hold the TALK button to open the default PTT channel for transmission. Release the TALK button to end the transmission and await reply. The handset will wait for 10 seconds before reverting to standby mode.

PTT mode requires additional battery resources. Ensure your handset is equipped with an Extended or Ultra-Extended Battery Pack for optimal performance.

This chapter provides basic operating instructions for operating the PTT features of the SpectraLink 8030 Wireless Telephone. This chapter contains instructions on how to:

•Make a PTT call

•Respond to a PTT call

•End a wait period
