Multiple handset use
Push-to-talk (PTT)
PTT call to multiple devices
When there are multiple handsets registered to the phone system, PTT
supports one-to-group calls. PTT supports a maximum of one-to-four calls
when two to five handsets are registered, and a maximum of one-to-three calls
when six or more handsets are registered. The first four registered handsets
will be eligible to use this feature. Other handsets can only use PTT for one-to-
one calls.
