Frequently Asked Questions about PTT Accessories

PTT Accessories

Yes, you can. The back of the PTT Button has a simple reusable tape on it and can typically be removed and reattached several times with no problem.

Over multiple detachments & reattachments, you may find that the stickiness wears off. In that case, simply remove the original tape and use a thin, 2-sided tape of your own to reattach.

If you use the PTT Button for work and prefer to not have it attached to your device while not working, you might consider having a ‘work’ phone case and a ‘personal’ phone case to avoid continued removal & reattachment of the PTT Button.

  1. First make sure that Bluetooth is turned on in your smartphone’s Settings app.
  2. Then, open the Tango Tango app and go to the Settings tab on the bottom right of the screen.
  3. Click the PTT Button setting
  4. (special step only for Apple devices) Click the ‘Enable iOS PTT Support’ button
  5. Click Add PTT Button and follow the onscreen prompts.
  6. Now, exit the Settings screen and click the Channels tab on the bottom left. Long press on the channel you’d like for your PTT Button to talk on when a call isn’t already in progress. Then click “Set as Default”. You can change your Default channel at any time in the future.

It connects through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). No wires or anything of that nature connect to your phone. The button is usable within normal phone Bluetooth range, which is typically 100-300 feet away from the phone.

While many PTT Button users mount the button on their phone itself to make the phone behave like a walkie-talkie, it’s also possible to mount the button on a lanyard, desk, or any other location that is convenient for you.

The Tango Tango PTT Button battery lasts an estimated 14 months. The device uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and a traditional coin cell battery.

When the battery runs out, it is possible the open the device and change the battery yourself but it requires a very small screwdriver from a kit for working on electronics. Given the low cost, many customers prefer to simply replace the button at that point but the choice is yours.

The PTT Button uses Bluetooth Low Energy and has almost no noticeable impact on battery life on a daily basis.

Yes, the button connects to your phone through Bluetooth, is powered by a battery, and is simply attached by reusable tape.

The button will attach to any case that has a surface that allows reusable tape to stick to it. Most plastic & metal cases work perfectly.
