A mobile terminal having a PTT function comprises a PTT module(14), a user input part, a keypad switchover key(22), and a control part(10). The PTT module transmits and receives RF signals in a PTT service method.

In case that the activation of the PTT function key is selected through the keypad switchover key, the control part controls the Tx/Rx function of the PTT module according to the input of the PTT function key, based on the key setup data stored in the memory. |
