Connecting the Pryme BT-PTT-Z Mini Wireless PTT switch with Tango Tango


The Pryme BT-PTT-Z Mini is an easily carried or mounted PTT button that can be used to control the Tango Tang app. To connect your Pryme device to the Tango Tango app, follow the directions below, in the order specified.


Connection Instructions

  1. Make sure the device is physically near your smartphone.
  2. Turn on your smartphone's Bluetooth by going to (in your smartphone's OS menus): Settings —> Bluetooth —> Turn on.
  3. You may want to change the app’s Call Progress Tones settings, since the button allows you to make and participate in PTT calls without opening the app UI. Turning on additional call progress tones may improve the overall experience when operating in this mode.
  4. Configure a Default Callee, which determines what channel to start a call on when the button is pressed. This can be set by long pressing on the desired channel and then enabling Set As Default in the resultant menu.
  5. (iOS Only) -  In the Tango Tango app, go to the Settings - PTT Button menu. Enable the Enable iOS PTT Support setting.
  6. In the Tango Tango app Settings - PTT Button menu, click the Add PTT Button then press and hold the button on the Pryme device. You should shortly see the device’s name in the Nearby Devices pop-up and the bottom of the screen. Click it and the device will appear in the My Devices list on the page.
