soft key. If no one broadcasts during the waiting period, the channel closes and the

—Release the Talk soft key. The broadcast temporarily stops and enters a

 

10-second waiting period to allow others to reply, or you to resume

 

the broadcast. If no one responds during a waiting period, the channel

—Press the End PTT soft key. The broadcast temporarily stops and enters

 

a 10-second waiting period to allow others to reply. If there are no

 

replies, the channel closes and the braodcast ends. After you tap the

 

End PTT soft key, you can immediately initiate another broadcast on

 

another channel, even if the previous broadcast is still in its waiting

 

period.

 

Receiving PTT Broadcasts

 

To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed

 

to that channel. To subscribe to a channel, see Updating Channel Subscriptions

 

on page 3-15.

 

How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether

 

you’re in an active call, or if you’re allowed to receive broadcasts during active

 

calls.
