You can use Zello with the RG650's dedicated PTT button located on the left side of the device. To enable the PTT button to use Zello, follow these instructions:

2. Make sure the **PTT** option is turned on as shown below. ![](https://support.zello.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360041042252-3.png?width=300&height=600&name=360041042252-3.png)
3. If Zello is not already installed, go to Google Play and download it. Once installed and you have created an account, test the button by going to **CONTACTS** \> **echo**. Press and hold the yellow PTT button on the left side of the RG650 to make sure the audio is replayed and heard. ![](https://support.zello.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360041042772-3.png?width=300&height=600&name=360041042772-3.png)
