Flash-to-Talk™ INFORMATION

This feature is only available when using a cable connection from a Nextel phone to Phonelabs equipment and is NOT available when using the Bluetooth module.

BASIC INFORMATION - Phonelabs' Flash-To-Talk™ feature allows the Nextel Push-To-Talk™ service to be used from any regular corded or cordless telephone through Phonelabs equipment. On an iDEN cell phone, the Push-To-Talk™ (PTT) feature is activated by use of a special button. When using Phonelabs equipment, the Flash button on your regular corded or cordless telephone activates the PTT functionality. The main difference is that, unlike the PTT button, you do not hold down the Flash button while you are speaking. You need to press Flash again when you begin speaking, and again when you finish.

PLACING A CALL - When using your regular corded or cordless telephone, go off-hook by either picking up the receiver or by activating the speakerphone. Once you hear the dial-tone, dial the iDEN number of the individual or group you are calling and then press the Flash button or use your hook switch to effect a flash. Once you hear a response, you'll need to press Flash to begin speaking, and again when you finish speaking. Throughout the conversation, each time you begin speaking, press Flash. Each time you finish speaking, press Flash again.

RECEIVING A CALL - When your regular corded or cordless telephone rings with a PTT call, you will hear your telephone ring with a distinctive ringing pattern. Pick up the handset. If the other party is not speaking, you may immediately begin speaking. If the PTT caller is speaking, when they finish speaking, press Flash, answer and press Flash again when you are finished speaking. Throughout the conversation, each time you being speaking, press Flash. Each time you finish speaking, press Flash again.

Purchasing Phonelabs equipment from us guarantees you permanent "no charge" after sale tech support. If you purchase Phonelabs equipment from another source, we charge $5 per call for tech support.
