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
○ Press End PTT.
After you press 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).
