Update Paging Group Subscriptions
Change the paging groups that your phone subscribes to.
By default, you are subscribed to paging groups 1, 24, and 25. You can’t disable the
subscriptions to paging groups 24 and 25 (priority and emergency broadcasts).
1. Go to Settings > Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration.
2. Select Group Paging > Group Subscriptions.
3. From the
Group Subscriptions
screen, select the group you want to
subscribe to.
4. Select Yes.
Play Pages During Active Calls
Configure the phone to play incoming pages during active calls. The page
interrupts calls, and you can listen to both the audio of the call and the page
simultaneously.
This setting is disabled by default. When disabled, your phone doesn’t play pages
while you are in a call, but holds them in a pending state instead.
1. Go to Settings > Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration.
2. Select Group Paging > Accept While Busy.
3. Select Enable.
Broadcasting Messages with Push-To-Talk
The Push-To-Talk (PTT) feature enables you to transmit messages and listen to
replies much like a walkie-talkie.
Your system administrator sets up the feature, defines up to 25 channels for PTT
mode, and assigns a label to each channel that easily identifies the channel, such
as All, HR Dept, Shipping Staff, or Executives. By default, you’re subscribed to
Channels 1, 24, and 25. This means that you can send and receive PTT broadcasts
on Channels 1, 24, and 25.
Each group or channel has one of the following priorities:
● Normal—By default, broadcasts sent to channels 1 to 23 are considered
Normal broadcasts. If two users begin a broadcast on the same group/
channel at the same time, the phone with the lower serial number continues
to transmit while the other phone enters the receiving state. By default, all
phones are configured to receive broadcasts sent to channel 1.
● Priority—By default, broadcasts sent to channel 24 are considered Priority
broadcasts. A Priority broadcast interrupts Normal broadcasts or active calls.
All phones receive Priority broadcasts unless Do Not Disturb is enabled.
Phones play Priority broadcasts at the phone's current audio level.
