incoming broadcast will be held in a Pending state—it won’t disrupt the telephone call, and you won’t hear the broadcast. To hear the PTT broadcast, select the PTT broadcast and press Accept (the telephone call will automatically be held). Or, hold or end the telephone call.

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

1Select Settings from Home view, and select Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration > PTT Push to Talk.

2From the PTT Channel Configuration screen, press Accept While Busy, and enable or disable the setting. The default setting is Disabled. When enabled, your phone will accept and play broadcasts while you’re in an active call. When disabled, your phone won’t play broadcasts while you’re in a call, but will hold them as Pending instead.

Group Paging Mode

Your phone may be enabled to operate in a broadcast mode called Group Paging mode. In this mode, you can broadcast one-way announcements to a specified group of phones, called a Paging Group. In Group Paging mode, users must subscribe to Paging Groups to send and receive pages.

Sending and Receiving Pages

To send and receive pages, you need to subscribe to certain paging groups. By default, you’re subscribed to Paging Groups 1, 24, and 25. This means that you can send and receive pages to Paging Groups 1, 24, and 25.

Sending Pages

By default, when you send a group page, it’s automatically sent to Paging Group 1. This is your default paging group.

You can change your default paging group to any group you want (see Updating the Default Paging Group). If you change your default paging group, you’re automatically subscribed to it.

You can’t send a Page-mode page while you’re in an active call.

To send a page:

1From Lines view, press Paging and hold.

Timesaver: Automatically Sending a Page

To automatically send a page to the default paging group, press and hold Paging, and go to step 4.

2From the Paging Groups List screen, select the paging group to send the page to.
