Updating Channel Subscriptions
You can subscribe to any channel that has been enabled by your system administrator and displays in
your channels list. When you subscribe to a channel, you can send and receive PTT broadcasts on that
channel.
To subscribe to additional PTT channels:
1 From Home view, select Settings > Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration > PTT
Push to Talk.
2 From the PTT Channel Configuration screen, select Channel Subscriptions.
3 From the Channel Subscriptions screen, select the channel you want to subscribe to, and press
Yes. By default, you’re subscribed to Channels 1, 24, and 25.
Allowing PTT Broadcasts during Active Calls
The Accept While Busy option determines what happens when you’re in a call and receive a PTT
broadcast. If you enable the option, a PTT broadcast interrupts telephone calls, and you hear the audio of
both the telephone call and the broadcast. If you disable the option, the incoming broadcast is held in a
Pending state where the broadcast doesn’t disrupt the telephone call, and you don’t hear the broadcast
until you choose to listen to the broadcast.
To hear the PTT broadcast during an active call:
» Select the PTT broadcast and press Accept
The telephone call is automatically held. You can also hold or end the active call to listen to a PTT
broadcast.
To enable or disable PTT broadcasts to play during an active call:
1 From Home view, select Settings > Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration > PTT
Push to Talk.
2 From the PTT Channel Configuration screen, press Accept While Busy and enable or disable the
setting.
When enabled, your phone accepts and plays broadcasts while you’re in an active call. When
disabled, your phone doesn’t play broadcasts while you’re in a call, but holds them as Pending
instead.
Using Group Paging Mode
Your phone can be enabled to operate in a broadcast mode called Group Paging mode. In this mode, you
can broadcast one-way announcements to a specified group of phones, called a Paging Group. In Group
Paging mode, users must subscribe to Paging Groups to send and receive pages.
To send and receive pages, you need to subscribe to certain paging groups. By default, you’re
subscribed to Paging Groups 1, 24, and 25. This means that you can send and receive pages to Paging
Groups 1, 24, and 25.
