Allowing Pages to Play During Active Calls

The Accept While Busy option determines what happens when you’re in a call and receive a page. If you enable the option, a page interrupts telephone calls and you can hear the audio of both the telephone call and the page. If you disable the option, the incoming page is held in a Pending state—it doesn’t disrupt the telephone call, and you don’t hear the page.

To hear the pages during an active call:

»Select the page and press Accept

The telephone call is automatically held. You can also hold or end the active call to listen to a page.

To enable or disable pages to play during an active call:

1From Home view, select Settings > Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration > Group Paging.
