Do-not-Disturb

Some IMPULSE Wireless users may have the ability to set Do Not Disturb (DnD). On a per-user basis, we can give you the ability to set this on your own device, or take the ability away.


DnD may also be linked to your phone's Silent or Vibrate function. We may have linked it and/or even given you the settings option to link or unlink it.


If you have DnD mode enabled, you will not receive any incoming PTT calls. Users who try to private call you will see a message, "User does not wish to be disturbed," and your status icon in other users' contact lists will be a red "no entry" sign (yellow in the case of auto-DnD for silent/vibrate). When a group call is made, you simply won't receive the group call, even though other users will.


To enable or disable universal DnD, follow the steps below.

  • Open IMPULSE Wireless
  • Tap the 3-line "hamburger menu" at the top left of the screen
  • If you can see the "Available," DnD is off and you are in normal mode. You can tap the toggle to enable DnD
  • If you see “Do-not-Disturb,” you are in permanent DnD mode. If so, tap the toggle to disable DnD.


In DND mode, you will also notice the IMPULSE Wireless notification icon (in the notification bar at the very top of your screen) changes from the usual concentric circles to a circle with an X through it.



You can still initiate calls by pressing PTT when in DnD mode, and communicate back and forth within the hang time of that call. When the call ends (manually, or by the hang time expiring after communications have finished), you won't receive any new incoming calls.


Blocking Talkgroups or turning channels off


If you have access to multiple channels or talkgroups, you may not want to listen to all of them all the time. You can "turn off" what you don't want to listen to.


If using the channels screen, simply tap the RX button to deselct it for any channels you don't want to hear. If the RX button has yellow horizontal bars in it, that means your system admin has set that channel so you can't turn RX off.



If using the groups screen, long-press the talkgroup you want to disable, and in the popup menu, select "Block Calls." You may unblock calls in the same way, long-press your selected talkgrup and select "unblock calls."



You may also block calls from a contact in the same way as you block calls from a talkgroup, just follow the same steps but on the Contacts screen.


When a talkgroup is blocked, you will see a red X indication on that talkgroup.
