Private talk can ask first, and it waits for people who are Busy or on Do not disturb. - People show as Available, Busy or Do not disturb, and someone on a call or a visit can show as Busy by itself. - Dispatchers can send an alert tone so everyone listens before an announcement. ### Emergencies and records - Emergency cuts in on everyone on the channel and keeps the microphone open until it is tapped again. - Managers replay saved messages as a conversation, read their text version, and link a conversation to the job or visit it was about. - Saved messages are kept for the number of days you choose, and you can turn saving off. ## Settings and choices - Choose who is in each channel. - Turn saving messages on or off, and how long to keep them. A company can choose differently for its own channels. - Decide whether private talk asks first or plays right away, and how loud other channels play while you listen on yours. ## From start to finish 1. A manager turns on Team Radio and sets up channels. 2. Everyone reads the short recording notice once. 3. Hold the talk button to talk. ## More ways to use it - Dispatch tells the whole crew about a schedule change in one press. - A tech holds Emergency and everyone on the channel hears them right away. ## Feature questions ### Do we need radio hardware? No. Team Radio runs in the office and field apps. Computers can add a foot pedal or the Windows helper if you like. ### Who can replay saved messages? Managers. Everyone sees a notice that messages are saved before they first talk. ## Here’s an example A dispatcher keys up once and every tech on the route hears the change, while the office keeps working in the same software. ## Learn more - [All capabilities](https://wildpipe.com/features) - [Pricing](https://wildpipe.com/pricing) - [Contact](https://wildpipe.com/contact)
