Multiple handset use
Push-to-talk (PTT)
PTT call to multiple handsets
When there are multiple handsets registered to the phone system, PTT 
supports one-to-group calls. PTT supports a maximum of one-to-four calls 
when one to five handsets are registered, and a maximum of one-to-three 
calls when six or more handsets are registered. The first four registered 
handsets will be able to use this feature. Other handsets can only use PTT for 
one-to-one calls. 
To call multiple handsets:
1. You have three ways to call multiple handsets. When the handset is not  
in use:
Press and hold PUSH TO TAL� until the handset shows  
Connecting to group...
Press PUSH TO TAL�. Press qCID or pDIR to choose Group. Press 
MENU/SELECT or press PUSH TO TAL� and your handset shows 
Connecting to group...
Press PUSH TO TAL�. Press TONE  followed by # (pound key). The 
handset shows Connecting to group...
When the connection is made, both the caller and the destination parties 
hear a beep. The speakerphones on all other handsets automatically 
activate.
2. You need to press and hold PUSH TO TAL� when you want to speak. 
Speak towards the handset. Your voice is broadcast to all handsets.
3. Release PUSH TO TAL� after speaking.
4. Any extension can reply (see Answer a PTT call on page 36).
NOTE: After PUSH TO TAL� on the handset is released, the PTT call remains open for a short 
time. If no one presses PUSH TO TAL� on the handset within ten seconds, the PTT call ends 
automatically.
