Broadcasting to a Group
The broadcast feature lets you quickly make an announcement to an entire
group. Broadcasting is different than calling a group:
• Broadcasting simultaneously contacts everyone in a group who is online
and available. A broadcast is not recorded for members who are offline or
unavailable.
• Calling a group connects you to the first available member in a group.
Recipients of a broadcast may cancel it by pressing the Hold/DND button during
the broadcast. Recipients may also respond to everyone in the broadcast group
by pressing and holding the Call button before the broadcast ends.
The following table summarizes the commands you use to communicate in a
broadcast:
