NOTE: To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you must subscribe
to that channel.
When you enable Do Not Disturb on your phone, you receive only emergency
broadcasts. Nonemergency broadcasts don’t display or play on your phone.
Listen to a PTT Broadcast During an Active Call
How you handle a broadcast when you are in an active call depends on the
broadcast priority and if your phone is set up to receive a broadcast when you are
in an active call.
The following scenarios happens when you receive a broadcast during an active
call:
● When your phone is set up to receive normal broadcasts during an active call,
the broadcast immediately plays. You can listen to both the active call and the
broadcast.
● When your phone isn’t set up to receive broadcasts during active calls, the
broadcast displays as a pending broadcast.
● When the broadcast is a priority or emergency broadcast, the broadcast plays
immediately. You can listen to both the active call and the broadcast.
■
Do one of the following:
● For broadcasts that play automatically during a call, hold the call to listen
to only the broadcast.
● For pending broadcasts, select Accept or hold the active call.
Receiving PTT Broadcasts When Not in an Active Call
When you receive a broadcast and you aren’t in an active call, the broadcast
immediately plays, regardless of the broadcast priority.
When you adjust the volume of a nonemergency broadcast, your phone retains
the adjusted volume for all subsequent nonemergency broadcasts. However, only
system administrators can adjust the volume level of emergency broadcasts.
Reply to PTT Broadcasts
When a broadcast ends, the broadcast enters a 10-second waiting period. During
this period, the channel remains open to receive or send additional broadcasts.
1. During the 10-second waiting period, press and hold Talk.
2. Begin talking.
The phone sends the broadcast all people listening on the channel.
3. When you finish talking, release Talk.
The broadcast enters another waiting period until someone broadcasts
again. If no activity occurs within the waiting period, the channel closes and
no more broadcasts can take place during this session.
