To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed
t o t h at ch a n n el . To s u b s cr ib e t o a ch a n n el , see Updating Channel Subscriptions
on page 44.
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether
you’re in an active call, or if you’re allow ed to receive broad casts during active
calls.
You’ll receive broad casts on the channels you’re su bscribed 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 on p age 42).
