7 PUSH-TO-TALK (PTT) CALLS
Push-to-Talk (PTT) lets you talk weakly-talkie style with
other Push to Talk subscribers.
PTT and the other features indicated are network and
subscription dependent features that are not available
in all areas. PTT connectivity requires PTT
compatible phones.
PTT Basics
Once you are connected, just push and hold the PTT
key
I to communicate.
Phone Position
When using PTT, hold the phone in a vertical position,
one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) from your mouth.
Call Sound
PTT calls come through the handsfree speaker
by default.
If you are on a call and use Call Waiting to accept any
type of incoming call, you hear the sound from the
incoming call the same way as the sound from the call
you are on. For example, if you are using the phone
earpiece for a standard wireless call and then accept an
incoming PTT call, you hear the sound from the PTT call
through the phone earpiece.
If you connect a headset (sold separately) to the phone,
you hear PTT call sound through the headset speaker,
and you speak through the headset microphone. You
must press the PTT key
I to gain floor control of a
PTT call and speak to other parties.
Adjusting Volume
Your phone displays Speaker On in the home screen to
indicate that the handsfree speaker is on. Press
Speaker
b to turn it off.
To adjust handsfree speaker volume during a call, press
the volume key (on the left side of the phone) up
or down.
To hear a PTT call through the phone earpiece during a
call, press Speaker
b. Press Speaker b again to
switch back to the phone earpiece.
PTT Call Types
You can make two types of PTT calls.
The first type of call, a PTT call, automatically connects
to the other party. The other party is not able to ignore
the call. The call can be one of two types:
• a private call to a single PTT user
-or-
• a group PTT call to more than one PTT user
The second type of call, a Call me alert, sends the
receiving party a text message and a message alert beep
to indicate that someone wants to speak with him/her.
The receiving party can answer or ignore the call. Call
me alerts are private calls only.
