Voice Communications
This chapter describes how to use the Push To Talk and phone calling features of the
MinePhone.
3.1 Using Push To Talk
The MinePhone's Push To Talk (PTT) feature is a "walkie talkie" style of communication
using selectable PTT group channels. It can operate in three ways:
Regular PTT
Communication where one person talks and the other MinePhones in the same PTT group
receive. Note that if a recipient MinePhone is already on a phone call, it will not receive
the PTT call.
Broadcast PTT
Communication where one person talks and the other MinePhones on the network receive
regardless of their current PTT group. Note that if a recipient MinePhone is on a phone
call or is receiving on its designated PTT group, it will not receive the broadcast.
Emergency PTT
If a MinePhone in the network transmits in emergency PTT mode, all MinePhones will
play the audio through their speakers. This will override all phone calls and all other PTT
communications.
3.1.1 Push To Talk
To use Push to Talk (PTT):
1.
Select the PTT group channel using the PTT Channel buttons on the side of the
phone. Make sure you and the recipient are on the same channel.
