Default Callee

The Default Callee setting allows you to configure a contact or group for one touch PTT call from the screen, a dedicated side PTT button, or connected Bluetooth device.  Devices that have a default callee will always display a green PTT screen rather than the default gray.  The Default Callee can be configured from the Admin Portal or the user's device.  Devices set in Channel Mode will not have a Default Callee, as the chosen channel becomes the defacto default.
