5 When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:
— Release the Talk soft key. The broadcast temporarily stops and enters
a 10-second waiting period to allow others to reply, or you to resume
the broadcast. If noone responds during a waiting period, the channel
closes and the broadcast ends.
— Press the End PTT soft key. The broadcast temporarily stops and
enters a 10-second waiting period to allow others to reply. If there are
no replies, the channel closes and the broadcast ends. After you press
the End PTT soft key, you can immediately initiate another broadcast
on another channel, even if the previous broadcast is still in its waiting
period.
Receiving PTT Broadcasts
To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed
to that channel. To subscribe to a channel, see Updating Channel Subscriptions
on page 95.
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether
you’re in an active call, or if you’re allowed to receive broadcasts during active
calls.
You’ll receive broadcasts on the channels you’re subscribed 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 page 94).
If you release the Talk soft key while you’re sending the broadcast, the broadcast
temporarily stops and enters a 10 second ‘Waiting’ period, as shown next. During
this period, the channel remains open to give people a chance to reply. At any time
during the waiting period, you can resume your broadcast by pressing and holding
the Talk soft key. If noone broadcasts during the waiting period, the channel closes
and the broadcast ends.
