Enable PTT Broadcasts to Play During Active Calls
The Accept While Busy setting determines what happens when you are in a call and receive a PTT
broadcast. The default setting is disabled by default, and when disabled, your phone does not play
broadcasts while you are in a call, but holds them in a Pending state instead. When you enable the Accept
While Busy setting, a PTT broadcast interrupts active calls and you hear the audio of the call and the
broadcast.
To enable PTT broadcasts during an active call:
1 Navigate to Settings > Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT Configuration > PTT Push to Talk.
On VVX 1500 phones, navigate to Menu > Settings > Basic > Preferences > Paging/PTT
Configuration > PTT Push to Talk.
2 From the PTT Channel Configuration screen, select Accept While Busy, and select Enable.
