Push to talk
Select Menu > Communic. > PTT .
Push to talk (PTT) (network service) provides direct voice
communication connected with the push of a key. With PTT,
you can use your device as a walkie-talkie.
You can use PTT to have a conversation with one person or
with a group of people, or join a channel. A channel is like a
chat room: you can call the channel to see if anyone is online.
The channel call does not alert the other users; the users just
join the channel and start speaking with each other.
In PTT communication, one person talks while the other users
listen through the built-in loudspeaker. Users take turns
responding to each other. Because only one user can talk at
a time, the maximum duration of a speech turn is limited. For
details of the speech turn duration for your network, contact
your service provider.
PTT settings
Select Options > Settings and select User settings to
define your preferences for PTT, or Connection settings to
change the connection details. Contact your service provider
for the correct settings.
Tip: You may also receive the settings in a message
from the provider of the PTT service.
Log in to PTT service
If you have set Application start-up on in User settings , PTT
automatically logs in to the service when started. If not, you
must log in manually.
To log in to the PTT service manually, select
Options > Log
in to PTT .
When the Ringing type setting of your device is set to Beep
once or Silent , or there is an ongoing phone call, you cannot
make or receive PTT calls.
Make a PTT call
To make a PTT call, select Options > Contacts , select one or
several contacts from the list, and press the voice key.
Remember to hold the device in front of you during the call
so you can see the display. The display informs you when it
is your turn to speak. Speak towards the microphone, and do
not cover the loudspeaker with your hands. Press and hold
the voice key the entire time you are talking. When you have
finished talking, release the key.
To end the PTT call, press the end key.
When you receive a PTT call, press the call key to answer the
call or the end key to dismiss the call.
