The Push to Talk (PTT) feature on your Kyocera
KX12 phone allows you to quickly communicate
with an individual or group. Once connected,
simply press and hold the walkie-talkie button
to communicate.
Note: The PTT feature on this phone can be used
only with compatible PTT phones.
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 behind the
keys 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.)
The icon at the top of the phone screen
indicates that the speakerphone is on.
Press the speakerphone button on the top
of the phone to turn it off.
