Multiple handset use
Push-to-talk (PTT)
PTT to a group of devices
When there are multiple handsets registered to the phone system, PTT
supports one-to-group calls. PTT supports a maximum of one-to-four calls
when two to five handsets are registered, and a maximum of one-to-three
calls when six or more handsets are registered. The first three or four
registered handsets and the telephone base will be eligible to use this
feature. Other handsets can only use PTT for one-to-one calls.
