Note: What Happens if I Release Talk During A Broadcast?
If you release Talk while you’re sending the 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 Talk. 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 Talk.
or
○ Tap End PTT.
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’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 Priority
channel) and Channel 25 (the 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 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 set to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast immediately plays.
You’ll hear both the original call and the broadcast. To listen to only the broadcast, hold or end
the call.
