PTT call to a group of handsets
When there are multiple handsets registered to the phone system, PTT
supports one-to-group calls. PTT supports a maximum of one-to-four calls
when 2 to 5 handsets are registered, and a maximum of one-to-three calls
when 6 or more handsets are registered. The first 4 registered handsets will be
able to use this feature. Other handsets can only use PTT for one-to-one calls.
To call a group of handsets:
1. You have three ways to call a group of handsets. When the handset is not
in use:

MENU/SELECT or press and hold PUSH TO TAL� until your handset
screen shows Connecting to group...
Press PUSH TO TAL�. Press TONE and # (pound key). The screen
shows Connecting to group...
When the connection is made, both the caller and the destination parties
hear a beep. The speakerphones on all other handsets automatically activate.

Speak towards the handset. Your voice is broadcast to all eligible handsets.
