others a chance to reply. At any time during the waiting period, you can resume your
broadcast by pressing and holding Talk. If no one broadcasts during the waiting period, the
channel closes and the broadcast ends.

Receiving PTT Broadcasts
To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed to that channel.
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether you are in an active call,
and whether your phone is set up to receive broadcasts during active calls.
When you enable Do Not Disturb on your phone, you receive only Emergency broadcasts. Non-
emergency broadcasts do not display or play on your phone.
Listen to a PTT Broadcast during an Active Call
How you handle a broadcast when you are in an active call depends on the broadcast priority and if your
phone is set up to receive a broadcast when you are in an active call.
The following occurs when you receive a broadcast during an active call:
• When your phone is set up to receive Normal broadcasts during an active call, the broadcast
immediately plays. You hear both the active call and the broadcast.
• When your phone is not set up to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast is displayed
as a Pending broadcast.
• When the broadcast is a Priority or Emergency broadcast, the broadcast plays immediately. You
hear the active call and the broadcast.
Procedure
1. Do one of the following,
• For broadcasts that play automatically during a call, hold the call to hear only the broadcast.
• For Pending broadcasts, select Accept or hold the call.
