Service
Phone Labs' new Flash-To-TalkTM feature allows the Nextel Push-To-TalkTM service to be used on the
Unity Telephone. On an iDEN cell phone, the Push-To-TalkTM (PTT) feature is activated by use of
the Call Waiting button. When using the Unity Telephone, the Call Waiting button, which is also
used to answer call waiting, activates the PTT functionality. The main difference is that, unlike the
PTT button, you do not hold down the Call Waiting button while you are speaking. You need to press
the Call Waiting when you begin speaking, and press it again when you finish.
Placing a call
When using the Unity Telephone, go off-hook by either picking upthe receiver orby activating the
speakerphone and pressing Cell Line. Onceyouhear the dial-tone, dial the iDENnumber of the individual
or group you are calling and then press the Call Waiting button to effect a flash. Once you hear aresponse,
you'll need to press Call Waiting to begin speaking, and again whenyou finish speaking. Throughoutthe
conversation,each time youbegin speaking, press the Call Waiting button. Each time you finishspeaking,
press it again.
Receiving a call
When the Unity Telephone rings with a PTT call, you will hear your telephone ring with
a distinctive ringing pattern. Pick up the handset. If the other party is not speaking, you may
immediately begin speaking. If the PTT caller is speaking, when they finish speaking press the
Call Waiting button, answer and press it again when you are finished speaking. Throughout the
conversation, each time you begin speaking, press Call Waiting. Each time you finish speaking,
press it again.
Sprint Nextel cell phones have powerful radios that can cause noise in your
conversation. To avoid this interference, place your Nextel cell phone as far as away as practicable
from both the Unity Telephone.
