Sending PTT Broadcasts
Before you can send a PTT broadcast, you need to choose a channel to
broadcast on. Or, you can press and hold the Talk soft key to immediately
begin broadcasting on Channel 1, the default channel.
You can change your default channel to any channel you want (see Updating
the Default Channel on page 43).
When you change the default channel, you’re
automatically subscribed to it.
To send a PTT broadcast:
1. Press the Talk soft key to select a channel to broadcast on.
2. From the PTT Channels List screen, select the channel to send the
broadcast on.
The list displays the default channel, the most recent channel you sent a
broadcast on, and other channels you can broadcast on.
3. To start the broadcast, press and hold the Talk soft key. Be sure to press
the Talk soft key throughout the entire broadcast.
You’ll hear a transmitting beep, and the phone will display the channel
information, such as the channel label.
4. Begin speaking.
5. When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:
— Release the Talk soft key.
— Press the End PTT soft key.
After you press 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.
To automatically send a PTT broadcast on the default channel, press and hold the
Talk soft key, and then go to step 4.
If you release the Talk soft key 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 the
Talk soft key. If no one broadcasts during the waiting period, the channel closes
and the broadcast ends.
