Customizing PTT Alerts
When you press the Talk button to send or receive a PTT transmission, your phone emits a PTT alert
sound. You can customize this PTT alerting sound.
To set a custom PTT alert for start and end transmissions:
1 Navigate to Settings > Basic Settings > Notification Profiles > Custom 1 > Alerts.
A list of alerts is displayed.
2 Highlight PTT Start of Transmission and press OK.
OR
Highlight PTT End of Transmission and press OK.
3 Highlight Alert Tone and press OK.
A list of alert tones is displayed.
4 Highlight an alert tone and press OK. You can preview alert tones by pressing the Play soft key.
To enhance the alerting of a PTT broadcast, you can enable PTT vibrate. When you enable PTT vibrate,
the handset will vibrate three times whenever a PTT broadcast is received, whether the handset is in
standby or in a call. If in a call, the phone will issue the chirp alert. The vibration does not replace any
PTT tone pattern already set.
To enable vibration:
• Select Vibrate and select the vibrate option from the list.
To set the handset for PTT vibrate only, enable the vibrate option and set the alert tone
pattern to Silent Ring.
