specified in your notification profile). The active call screen appears and
displays Push to Talk at the top of the screen and In Use in the middle
of the screen.
Note: If you are composing an email or PIN message or are using another
BlackBerry device application when you receive a Nextel Walkie-

is disconnected, you return to the last application that you were using
before you received the call.

talk with them using Walkie-Talkie Service. When you send an alert, the

a phone call or transmitting data, you are notified with a return message
indicating the user is unavailable.
