Press the Hold/DND button while listening to the
broadcast.
Reply to everyone
1. Press and hold the Call button before the broadcast
ends.
• If it is OK to talk, you hear a beep. Other users
also hear a beep to indicate that a reply is
starting.
• If somebody else has already started to reply, you
hear a chirp.
2. Begin speaking.
Everyone in the broadcast group hears you
immediately.
3. When finished, release the Call button.
Everyone in the broadcast group hears a chirp,
letting them know they can now reply.
You cannot initiate a broadcast to a group that is already receiving one. The
Genie prevents you from starting the second broadcast, but it allows you to join
the broadcast in progress (if you are a member of that group), or it tells you
to try later (if you are not a member of that group). An urgent broadcast to a
group that is already receiving a broadcast will always break in.
If you are already listening to one broadcast when someone attempts to include
you in another broadcast, you receive the call waiting tone. Similarly, you
receive the call waiting tone when someone calls you while you are receiving a
broadcast. See
Call Waiting
on page 57.
Summoning Help in an Emergency
If your system administrator sets up an emergency broadcast group, you can
quickly summon help by clicking the Call button twice. Using this feature
initiates an urgent broadcast to this special group.
