Quick Group Call
A quick group call allows you to make a PTT call to up to 10 people without first creating a talkgroup,
which is handy if you want to quickly call a small group of people who are not already in a group. For
more details, see the
Making Quick Group Calls on page 57 section.
You can create a group from a quick group call in your call history unless your administrator has
restricted your phone from adding new groups.
Display Name
Your display name is shown to others during a PTT call and in their PTT call history. You can
change your display name from within the PTT application settings unless restricted by your
administrator. For more details, see the
Restoring Defaults on page 159 section.
Floor Control
While in a PTT call, only one person can speak at a time. The person speaking is said to “have the
floor”. The following terms are used throughout this document:
Floor Acquired
When you take the floor by pressing the PTT button, the on-screen PTT button changes, and
you hear a chirp. This chirp indicates that you have the floor and can speak while you press the
PTT button. When you stop talking, you should release the PTT button.
Idle
While no one is speaking, the floor is “idle” and available for anyone to take. The screen
changes color and shows the message, “No one is speaking…” If you want to speak, you must
wait until the floor is idle, then you can press the PTT button to acquire the floor.
Floor Unavailable
Whenever someone else is speaking, you see the speaker’s name and the on-screen PTT
button changes. You cannot take the floor while someone else is speaking; if you attempt to do
so you get a bong tone, or floor deny. If you are speaking and a supervisor takes the floor, you
hear a tone and the on-screen PTT button changes.
NOTE: If the call is a group call and you are a supervisor for the group, whenever you press
the PTT button, the floor is revoked from the person speaking, including another supervisor,
and you can speak after acquiring the floor. For more details, see the
Supervisory Override
on page 75
section.
Talkgroup
A talkgroup is a type of PTT contact that connects you to multiple people at once. For more details,
see the
Talkgroups on page 92 section.
Integrated Secure Messaging
Integrated Secure Messaging allows a PTT subscriber to send and receive secure text messages,
multimedia content, and location information to and from other PTT subscribers. For more details,
see the
Integrated Secure Messaging on page 118 section.
Supervisory Override
A supervisory override allows a group member to be designated by an administrator as a supervisor
and be able to take the floor and speak at any time during a call, even if someone else has the floor.
One or more members of a group can be designated as supervisors. If there are two or more
supervisors in the same group, each supervisor can interrupt the other(s). For more details, see the
Supervisory Override on page 75 section.
