After you tap End PTT , 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.

How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether you are in an active call, and whether your phone is set up to receive broadcasts during active calls.

You receive broadcasts on the channels you are subscribed to as well as Channel 24, the Priority channel, and Channel 25, the Emergency channel. When you enable Do Not Disturb on your phone, you only receive Emergency broadcasts. Non-emergency broadcasts do not display or play on your phone.

When a broadcast ends, your phone emits an end of transmission beep and enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period, you can respond to the broadcast. For more information, see Replying to PTT Broadcasts.

Receiving PTT Broadcasts When You are Not in an Active Call

When you receive a broadcast and you are not in an active call, the broadcast immediately plays, regardless of the broadcast priority.

Receiving PTT Broadcasts During Active Calls

How you handle a broadcast when you are in an active call depends on the broadcast priority and if your phone is set up to receive a broadcast when you are in an active call.

∙When your phone is set to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast immediately plays. You hear both the original call and the broadcast. To listen to only the broadcast, hold or end the call.

∙When your phone is not set up to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast displays as a Pending broadcast. To listen to the broadcast, hold or end the call, or tap the broadcast, and tap Accept.

When the broadcast is a Priority or Emergency broadcast, the broadcast immediately plays. You hear the original call and the broadcast. To listen to only the broadcast, hold or end the call.

Replying to PTT Broadcasts

When a broadcast ends, the broadcast enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period, the channel remains open to receive or send additional broadcasts.

During a waiting period, you can press and hold Talk and talk to all the people listening on the channel. When you finish talking, release Talk. The broadcast enters another waiting period until someone broadcasts again. If no activity occurs within the waiting period, the channel closes and no more broadcasts can take place.
