Getting Started with your G8 Demo Kit

Push to Talk

The push-to-talk features lets you use G8 much like a walkie talkie (two-way radio) to talk to other G8 devices with the PTT subscription.
  1. From the Status screen, left or right button to display the first Feature screen. Continue to press the left or right button to scroll through the Feature screens until the PTT screen displays.
  2. Press the Side+ and Side- buttons on the right side of G8 to scroll between channels.
  3. Select channel 1.
  4. Press the PTT button on the left side of G8, then say hi to any team members that might be online.
  5. If possible, practice having a PTT conversation with friend, family member, or coworker using your other G8 device.
    Note: Remember that PTT functions like a two-way radio. Only one person can speak at one time. Keep the G8 devices from getting too close to each other as this causes feedback. If you notice there is too much traffic on a channel, change the channel to another of the 99 available channels.
  6. Connect the RSM to G8.
    CAUTION: To avoid damage to the G8 charging port or the RSM connector pins, insert the RSM connector into the G8 charging port while lining the RSM connector tip with the tab at the center top of the G8 charging port. Once it is inserted, press down until you hear a click. To release the RSM from G8, press the gray button on the RSM connector, then gently lift up.

  7. Attach the RSM to your person, locating it so that it is close enough to your voice and ear to carry out an understandable conversation.
  8. Follow the same steps listed for G8 using the RSM to have a conversation. Instead of using the PTT button on G8 to speak, press and release the PTT button on the right side of the RSM.
