8 USING PUSH TO TALK
The Push to Talk (PTT) feature on your Amp’d Mobile TM Jet phone allows you to quickly
communicate with an individual or group. Once connected, simply press and hold the
walkie-talkie button to communicate.
Note: To activate PTT press and hold the walkie-talkie button or select the PTT icon. Create a PTT
name to be seen by others when you PTT. Once PTT is activated, you will see a green icon in the
upper left corner of your phone screen.
Phone position
When using your phone as a walkie-talkie radio,
hold the phone in a vertical position one to two
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from your mouth.
Speakerphone
PTT calls come through the speakerphone by
default. The loudspeaker is located on the back
of your phone.
• Call waiting: If you accept any type of call
through call waiting, the incoming call
sound will be the same as the sound of the
call you are in already. For example, if you
are on a cellular call using the earpiece and
you accept an incoming PTT call, the sound
for the PTT call will come through
the earpiece.
• Headset: If a headset is connected to the
phone, PTT calls come through the headset
speaker, and you speak through the headset
microphone. You are required to press the
walkie-talkie button to gain floor control of
a PTT call and speak to other parties.
(Headsets are sold separately.)

screen indicates that the speakerphone is on.

button inside the
