Phone Labs’ Flash-To-Talk™ feature allows the Nextel Push-To-Talk™ service to
be used from any regular corded or cordless telephone through the Dock-N-Talk™.
On an iDEN cell phone, the Push-To-Talk™ (PTT) feature is activated by use of a
special button. When using the Dock-N-Talk™, the FLASH button on your regular
corded or cordless telephone activates the PTT functionality. The main difference is
that, unlike the PTT button, you do not hold down the FLASH button while you are
speaking. You need to press FLASH when you begin speaking, and press FLASH
again when you nish.
To place a PTT call using your regular corded or cordless telephone, go off-hook by
either picking up the receiver or by activating the speakerphone. Once you hear the
dial-tone, dial the iDEN number of the individual or group you are calling and then
press the FLASH button or use your hookswitch to effect a flash. Once you hear
a response, you’ll need to press FLASH to begin speaking, and again when you
finish speaking. Throughout the conversation, each time you begin speaking, press
FLASH. Each time you finish speaking, press FLASH again.
When you receive a PTT call using your regular corded or cordless telephone, you
will hear your telephone ring with a distinctive ringing pattern. Pick up the handset
as you normally would. If the other party is not speaking, you may immediately begin
speaking. If the PTT caller is speaking, when they nish speaking press FLASH,
answer and press FLASH again when you are nished speaking. Throughout the
conversation, each time you begin speaking, press FLASH. Each time you finish
speaking, press FLASH again.
