Push-to-Talk Usage

With Push-to-Talk (PTT) you can use your either your handset or headset like a handheld transceiver (walkie-talkie) for bi-directional communication with other handsets or Yealink DECT headsets registered on the same base station.

For the PTT feature to be available for your handsets, your W70 base station needs to have firmware version 146.85.8.2 installed. To find out the firmware version please contact support

PTT Meeting vs Direct Push-to-Talk

There are two ways to use PTT:

• PTT meeting: This is similar to a conference. It is initiated by one user on his handset or DECT headset and the meeting can be joined by the other handsets/headsets on the same base station. Users cannot hear each other until they join. Once they have joined the meeting, they can speak continuously.
  
• Direct Push-to-Talk: This is more like an open meeting. The PTT communication channel is always available for anyone entering PTT mode on his handset/headset. Once in the PTT mode users will hear any other handset/headset on the channel. To participate in the conversation a user has to actively push a button.
