Talkgroup Scanning
This section describes Talkgroup Scanning using the Push-to-Talk (PTT) application and is organized
as follows:
•
Turning Scanning ON or OFF on page 99
• Adding a Talkgroup to a Scan List on page 100
• Removing a Talkgroup from a Scan List or Changing the Scanning Priority on page 101
Talkgroup Scanning allows a subscriber’s phone to scan through the scan list of corporate talkgroups
for calls and up to three talkgroups that can be assigned as priority (1–3) talkgroups. The higher priority
talkgroup calls take precedence over lower priority talkgroup calls.Talkgroups that are not on the scan
list do not barge in when Scanning is ON.
While you have Talkgroup Scanning enabled, you see the following behavior:
• Calls from the scanned talkgroup are received normally. When the current scanned talkgroup call
ends, you automatically hear the next active scanned talkgroup call in progress. You will not get
missed call alerts for talkgroup calls while scanning is enabled.
• Quick Group calls are received normally. A missed call alert is provided if you are busy on another
Push-to-Talk (PTT) call or a cellular call.
• One-to-one calls are received normally. A missed call alert is provided if you are busy on another
PTT call or a cellular call.
• All call types can be originated: one-to-one, Quick Group, and talkgroup calls.
• Normal call rejoin occurs for originated talkgroup calls.
NOTE: You cannot receive Missed Call Alerts for talkgroup calls while scanning, so calling a
talkgroup may result in a call rejoin.
15.1
Turning Scanning ON or OFF
Procedure:
• To turn on Talkgroup Scan, tap the Talkgroup Scan toggle on the menu from the OFF state to
the ON state.
When Talkgroup Scan is enabled, a scan list icon shows on the Talkgroup tab row, and during a
call, the title bar shows the priority of the talkgroup. Also, if any talkgroups have priorities that
you have assigned, the priority (1-3) is displayed on the talkgroup button. When Talkgroup Scan
is turned off, the Scan List icon disappears from the Call Status on the Main screen, and all
assigned priorities disappear.
The talkgroup list shows in priority order at the top followed by the rest of the talkgroups in
alphabetical order.
