PTT call types
You can make two types of walkie-talkie calls:
• A PTT call automatically connects to the
other party. The receiving party does not
have the option to ignore the call. It can be
• a private PTT call to a single PTT user,
- or -
• a group PTT call to more than one
PTT user.
• A Call me alert sends the receiving party a
text message and a message alert beep to
indicate that someone wants to speak with
them. The receiving party has the option to
either answer or ignore the call. Call me
alerts are private calls only.
Making PTT calls and alerts
Making a private PTT call
1. There are five ways start a private PTT call:
• Enter a 10-digit phone number
(including area code), then press the
walkie-talkie button.
• From the home screen, press the walkie-
talkie button to open the Push to Talk
menu. Highlight a contact or group, then
press the walkie-talkie button.
• Select Menu → Push to Talk →
PTT Contacts and search for a saved PTT
contact. Highlight the contact and press
the walkie-talkie button.
• Select Menu → Contacts → PTT
Contacts. Highlight the contact and
press the walkie-talkie button.
• Select Menu → Recent Calls, select a list
(Incoming Calls, Outgoing Calls, or
Missed Calls), highlight a call, and press
the walkie-talkie button.
2. Listen for the “Ready to Speak” tone.
3. Speak while pressing the
walkie-talkie button.
4. Release the walkie-talkie button when
finished speaking. This allows the called
party to reply.
5. Wait for the “Ready to Speak” tone, then
press the walkie-talkie button again
to speak.
6. To end the PTT call, press the End/Power
key
or the Amp’d/OK key . If the
other party ends the call, no action
is required.
Tip: If you originate a call to a person who is
actively engaged in a cellular call or a PTT
call, you hear the “Ready to Speak” tone
and your voice message is stored. The
other party can choose to answer or
ignore the new incoming call. If they
answer the call, they will hear your voice
message, and then you and the other
party will hear the “Floor Free” tone (a
single high-pitched beep).
