Getting Started
The Zebra PTT Pro solution provides a reliable full featured, instant communication service leveraging 3G,
LTE, and WiFi networks that includes three core areas of operation:
• Push to Talk (PTT) Voice
• Secure Group Messaging (text and images)
• Location tracking and mapping.
Zebra PTT Pro for iOS supports the following:
• iOS 8.0 or later
• iPhone and iPod Touch.
Data Usage (Cellular Networks)
Zebra PTT Pro is a VoIP application that, for cellular connections, requires a data plan. As compared with
other video and image communication applications, Zebra PTT Pro requires minimal data. It uses a
variable rate Voice CODEC technology so improved voice quality is delivered to users with better data
service. Zebra PTT Pro data can be estimated as follows, but note that the results may vary:
Monthly system overhead: 6 MB
Active PTT talk time (when voice is broadcast on a PTT call):
• Smartphone connected via 3G: 6 MB per hour
• Smartphone connected via 4G: 8 MB per hour
Group Types and Maximum List Sizes
Multiple types of groups exist, and each type has different characteristics related to members, call
originator, and so on. The following types of groups exist:
• Personal Groups (size limit 250): Created by a user and only visible from the creator's Group List.
Only the creator can initiate a call to a Personal Group.
• Member Groups (size limit 250): Visible in all member's Group Lists. Any member of the group can
initiate a call to the group.
• Enterprise Open Groups (size limit 250): Available for any user to join. The owner/manager of the
group may or may not be a participant in the group and there may be more than one Group Manager.
• Enterprise Closed Groups (size limit 250): Created by any user. Only the owner/manager can add
Members. The owner/manager of the group may or may not be a participant in the group and there can
be more than one Group Manager.
10
Getting Started
• Enterprise Dispatch Groups (size limit 250): These groups have definable time of day/day of week
shifts associated with them. The members of the group can change for each shift. The owner/manager
of the Group may or may not be a participant in the Group and there can be more than one Group
Manager. Users with a Dispatch Group in their Group List can call the group and to route it to members
of the group that are on shift at the time.
• Broadcast Groups (size limit 60,000): Broadcast Groups are used to deliver high priority messages.
Broadcast Group calls are high priority unicast voice messages. Broadcast messages will re-try until all
messages have been delivered. This group can only be created by Primary or Secondary
Administrators.
• Law Enforcement Surveillance Channel (size limit 250): Surveillance Channel Groups are used by
Law Enforcement personnel whose typical profile requires long calls that cannot be automatically
ended after brief periods of inactivity.
• Public Safety Unicast Channel (size limit 250): Provide a means for Public Safety agencies to
broadcast important audio feeds, such as NOAA Weather, Air Traffic Control, and any LMR network in
a monitor only mode.
• Adhoc Groups (size limit 250): Not pre-configured groups, but a selection of multiple contacts from the
Contact List. Highlight the Contacts and press the PTT button to establish a call.
11

Talker Override/Preemption
Zebra PTT Pro supports Talker Override and Preemption with Enterprise Open, Enterprise Closed, and
Dispatch group types.
During a call, a user with Talker Override can press the PTT button to speak while a user without Talker
Override is speaking, interrupting the speaking user. Multiple Talker Override users requesting to speak
are managed on a first-come first-serve basis.
Call Management
Users can be assigned Talker Override capability when they are added as members to a group in the
Zebra PTT Pro Management Portal.
The Broadcast Group supports a preemption feature. Whenever a Broadcast call is made, it will preempt
every other call members of the Broadcast Group are participating in. Once the user has heard the
broadcast message, the user can make other PTT calls again.
Note that Talker Override/Preemption is not related to Call Override. Talker Override relates to interactions
during a call, while Call Override relates to interactions between calls.
Call Override
Zebra PTT Pro supports the Call Override feature on 1:1, Ad hoc, and Group Calls.
Call Override allows users to be removed from a lower priority ongoing call and put in a a new higher
priority call. Each user and group has an assigned priority between 1 and 5 which determines the behavior
of Call Override as described in the following sections.
Call Override is not related to Talker Override/Preemption. Talker Override relates to interactions during a
call, while Call Override relates to interactions between calls.
Call Override on 1:1 and Ad hoc Calls
A user or group with a higher priority than the members of a 1:1 or ad hoc call can override that call.
Call Override on Group Calls (by Calling Individual User(s))
A caller with a priority higher than group call members in an ongoing group call can remove members from
the group call and put them into a new 1:1 or ad hoc call. The group call continues with the remaining

Group Message Templates
The system administrator can create message templates on the Zebra PTT Pro Management Portal for
specific groups using the Zebra PTT Pro Management Portal. Since this feature is enabled by the
administrator, it may not be seen or available to the user.
Group message templates are used to send repetitive meaningful messages without having to type in the
message. An additional feature provides the ability to have variable tags in the pre-configured message
templates. This provides the user the ability to enter specific variable(s) into the template. When the user
selects a template with variables, only the variable is requested to be entered.
The user can then send a text message to all members of a group, using message text that was created
using a template.
Message Notifications
Message notifications can be viewed from the lock screen, swiping down to see Notification Center, and
within the Zebra PTT Pro application.

Location Based Services
The mobile device can send GPS location information to the Zebra PTT Pro Management Portal. This is
enabled in the Zebra PTT Pro Management Portal by the administrator. When enabled, the Zebra PTT Pro
client can:
• Enable or disable location services
• Enable or disable the Duty mode.
Send Location Information
Zebra PTT Pro Management Portal administrators can configure the client to send location information
from the device to the Management Portal in the following ways:
• Administrator controlled - Administrators can set location information to ON or OFF without giving the
individual users the ability to change location so users can not change location settings.
• User Controlled - If the administrator has set the device’s location setting to Allow Location Disable
to OFF, the user has the ability to enable/disable sending location information to the Zebra PTT Pro
Management Portal.
• Duty Mode - The concept of Duty mode is designed for those going On and Off duty. When the user is
Off duty, they are indicating they are still available for a PTT call and messaging, but they are off duty
and no location information is sent to the Zebra PTT Pro Management Portal. If a user engages in a
PTT call while Off duty, the user is reset back to On duty.
If the Zebra PTT Pro Management Portal Force Duty Mode is set to off, then the user does not have
the ability to set the Off Duty mode. If the Force Duty Mode is set to on, then the user has the ability to
go on and off duty.
