Note: Using the Talk Soft Key”
If you release the Talk soft key while you’re sending a broadcast, the broadcast temporarily stops
and enters a 10 second ‘Waiting’ period. During this period, the channel remains open to give
people a chance to reply. At any time during the waiting period, you can resume your broadcast
by pressing and holding the Talk soft key. If no one broadcasts during the waiting period, the
channel closes and the broadcast ends.
5 When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:
○ Release the Talk soft key.
○ Press the End PTT soft key.
After you tap the End PTT soft key, 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 subscribe 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’re in an active call, or
if you’re allowed to receive broadcasts during active calls.
You’ll receive broadcasts on the channels you’re subscribed to as well as Channel 24 (the default Priority
channel) and Channel 25 (the default Emergency channel). If you’ve enabled Do Not Disturb on your
phone, you’ll only receive Emergency broadcasts. Non-emergency broadcasts won’t 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 (see Replying to PTT Broadcasts).
Receiving PTT Broadcasts When You’re Not in an Active Call
If you receive a broadcast and you’re not in an active call, the broadcast displays in the center of your
screen and immediately plays, regardless of the broadcast priority.
Receiving PTT Broadcasts During Active Calls
How you handle a broadcast when you’re in an active call depends on the broadcast priority and if
you’re allowed to receive a broadcast when you’re in an active call.
If the broadcast is a Normal broadcast:
• If your phone is enabled to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast displays in the
inactive call group as an active broadcast and immediately plays. You’ll hear both the original call
and the broadcast. To listen to only the broadcast, hold or end the call.
