Please log in for more thread options I would stick with the 'call tech support' suggestion. AFAIK PTT is not a
free feature, and I think you just signed up for it. I got around the issue
inadvertently by finding the instructions to add the PTT button to the list
of buttons in the control panel. I wanted this to assign that button to
Voice Command (makes sense right, Push to Talk). Guess that solved the auto
activation too.
