Poly CCX - Send a PTT Broadcast; Receiving PTT Broadcasts

● Emergency—By default, broadcasts sent to channel 25 are considered
Emergency broadcasts. An Emergency broadcast interrupts Normal
broadcasts, Priority broadcasts, and active calls and plays out at near
maximum volume even if Do Not Disturb is enabled.
Send a PTT Broadcast
You can choose a channel to broadcast on before you send a PTT broadcast, or
you can hold the Talk soft key to immediately begin broadcasting on Channel 1, the
default channel.
While you send a broadcast, you can pick up the handset, or press the
Speakerphone
or Headset key and continue speaking. You can also press
the Mute key to mute your audio so the people receiving your broadcast do not
hear anything. This behavior is similar to a phone call.
TIP: To automatically send a PTT broadcast on the default channel, press and
hold Talk. After the transmitting beep, begin speaking.
1. Select Talk.
2. From the PTT Channels screen, select a channel.
A list is displayed with the default channel, the most recent channel you sent
a broadcast on, and other channels you can broadcast on.
3. Press and hold Talk to start the broadcast.
Be sure to hold Talk throughout the entire broadcast.
A transmitting beep plays and the phone displays the channel information.
4. Begin speaking.
5. When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:
● Release Talk.
When you release Talk while sending the broadcast, the broadcast
temporarily stops and enters a 10-second waiting period. During this
period, the channel remains open to give others 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.
● Select End PTT.
After you select End PTT, you can immediately initiate another broadcast
on another channel, even if the previous broadcast is in the waiting
period.
Receiving PTT Broadcasts
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether you
are in an active call, and if your phone is set up to receive broadcasts during active
calls.
