Using the Push-to-Talk
Features
of your SpectraLink 8030
Wireless Telephone
The PTT feature allows SpectraLink 8030 Wireless Telephones to
operate in a group broadcast mode called PTT mode. The handsets
behave like walkie-talkies, where a single handset can transmit to
multiple listeners. If the system administrator has disabled PTT, the
PTT options will not appear in the Config menu.
Press and release the
TALK button to display the default channel, the
last channel used, any additional subscribed channels, and the
Priority Channel.
Press and hold the
TALK button to open the default PTT channel for
transmission. Release the
TALK button to end the transmission and
await reply. The handset will wait for 10 seconds before reverting to
standby mode.
PTT mode requires additional battery resources. Ensure your
handset is equipped with an Extended or Ultra-Extended Battery
Pack for optimal performance.
