Initiating a call Press the

Talk

button and wait briefly to activate the channel

before talking. You may begin talking when the display shows
“Transmitting.”.

Transmitting Once a call has been initiated, hold the WT two inches from your

mouth and talk into the microphone. When the

Talk

button is

released, the 3626 WT then enters the waiting state where it
monitors the channel for up to ten seconds.

Initiate subsequent transmissions by pressing the

Talk

button on

any 3626 WT using the same channel. The user can start talking
immediately. The display screen shows the current active
channel..

If no transmission occurs during the ten-second countdown
period, the 3626 WT reverts to the idle state.

Receiving Upon receiving a PTT transmission, the phone plays the

“receiving alert” sound and enters the receive state.

In this state the phone receives all conversations on the selected
channel. The phone will ignore the

Talk

button while in the

receive state. The screen shows the current active channel, the
caller ID information of the current transmitter, and an indication
that the phone is receiving a broadcast transmission. The caller
ID is protocol specific. In most cases it is simply the extension
number programmed in the phone from the on-hook user menu.

At the end of a transmission, the phone enters the waiting state
where it monitors the channel for up to ten seconds and displays
“Waiting” on the screen. If no other transmission occurs within
ten seconds the phone reverts to idle state.

Change PTT volume Use the

Up

and

Down

buttons to raise or lower PTT volume. A

separate volume is maintained for PTT calls with the current
volume selection retained in memory.

Muting a PTT call To mute a current call, press the

Mute

soft key. This brings up a

Mute Two-Way Radio?

prompt. Press the

Yes

or

No

soft key.

The prompt disappears after 3 seconds if the user doesn’t confirm
either

Yes

or

No

.

Mute only affects the current call and the phone will play
subsequent PTT calls. Mute does not allow the user to use the
WT’s keypad for anything else, including an OAI application.

The

Mute

soft key turns into an

Unmute

soft key while in the

mute state and can be used to unmute the PTT call (the
confirmation prompt is displayed first).

When the next PTT call period starts the audio is automatically
unmuted.

Early termination of a

PTT call

In order to terminate incoming broadcasts, press the

Terminate

soft key and answer

Yes

to the confirmation prompt. Push-to-

talk audio is immediately stopped and the phone exits the PTT
session. No other WT is affected. Only the current call is
terminated for this handset. When the next PTT call period starts,
the WT is again in the receive state. You may rejoin a still-active
session by initiating a PTT call.

Users should disable the PTT feature in the on-hook user menu if
it is desired to not receive any further PTT calls.
