Allowing PTT Broadcasts to Play During Active Calls

The Accept While Busy option allows PTT broadcasts to come in as active calls (if enabled) or held calls (if disabled).

If enabled, a PTT broadcast will interrupt telephone calls and you’ll hear the audio of both the telephone call and the PTT broadcast. The party on the other end of the telephone call cannot hear the PTT broadcast unless that party has also enabled Accept While Busy.

If disabled, PTT broadcasts are held during an active call. To hear the broadcast, you have to resume the broadcast.

To allow or disallow PTT broadcasts to play during an active call:

1.Press , then select Settings > Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration > PTT Push to Talk.
