be extremely loud.
Select Menu > Connect. > PTT.
Push to talk (PTT) (network service) is a real-time voice
over IP service implemented over a GSM/GPRS network.
Push to talk provides direct voice communication
connected with the push of a key. With push to talk, you
can use your device as you would use a walkie-talkie.
You can use push to talk to have a conversation with one
person or with a group of people, or join a channel. A
channel is like a chat room: you can call the channel to see
if anyone is online. The channel call does not alert the
other participants; the participants just join the channel
and start speaking with each other.
In push to talk communication, one person talks while the
others listen through the built-in loudspeaker. Speakers
take turns responding to each other. Because only one
speaker can talk at a time, the maximum duration of a
speech turn is limited. For details of the speech turn
duration for your network, contact your network operator
or service provider.
Remember to hold the device in front of you during a push
to talk call so you can see the display. Speak towards the
microphone, and do not cover the loudspeaker with your
hands.
Phone calls always take priority over push to talk.
Before you can use push to talk, you must define the push
to talk access point and push to talk settings. You may
receive the settings in a special text message from the
service provider that offers the push to talk service.
User settings
Select Options > Settings > User settings.
Define the following:
• Incoming PTT calls — Select Notify if you want to see
a notification of incoming calls. Select Auto-accept if
you want push to talk calls to be answered
automatically. Select Not allowed if you want push to
talk calls to be rejected automatically.
• PTT call alert tone — Select Set by profile if you want
the incoming call alert setting for push to talk to follow
your profile settings. If your profile is silent, you are
not available to others using push to talk, except for
callback requests.
• Callback req. tone — Define the ringing tone for
callback requests.
• Application start-up — Select if you want to log in to
the push to talk service when you switch on your
device.
• Default nickname — Enter your default nickname (20
characters maximum) that is displayed to other users.

• Show my PTT address — Define if you want callers to
see your push to talk address. You can let all callers see
the address, show the address only to one-to-one
callers or channel participants, or hide the address
from all callers.
• Show my login status — Define if your login to the
push to talk server is shown or hidden from other
users.
Connection settings
Select Options > Settings > Connection settings.
Define the following:
• Domain — Enter the domain name obtained from
your service provider.
• Access point name — Enter the push to talk access
point name.
• Server address — Enter the IP address or domain
name of the push to talk server obtained from your
service provider.
• User name — Enter your user name obtained from
your service provider.
• PTT password — Enter a password, if required, to
make a data connection. The password is usually
provided by the service provider.
Log in to push to talk service
If you have set Application start-up on in User settings,
push to talk automatically logs in to the service when
started. If not, you must log in manually.

Switch PTT on.
