The Push to Talk (PTT) feature on your Kyocera 
KX444 phone allows you to use your phone like a 
walkie-talkie to communicate with another 
individual with Verizon Wireless PTT service. 
Simply select a contact, then press and hold your 
phone’s Push to Talk (PTT) button to speak.

Tip:  

On a PTT call, only one person can speak at 

a time. Once you have finished speaking,
release the PTT button and listen for the other 
party to reply.

Phone position

For best results when using the PTT feature, hold 
the phone facing you with the mouthpiece at least 
one inch (2.5 cm) away from your mouth.

Speakerphone

PTT calls come through the speakerphone 
by default. 

Note:  

If a headset is connected to the phone, PTT 

calls will come through the headset speaker, and 
you speak through the headset microphone. You 
are required to press the PTT button to gain floor 
control of a PTT call and speak. (Headsets are 
sold separately.)

Icons at the top of the phone screen indicate 
whether the speakerphone is on.
