Using the microphone
The microphone is located at the top centre of your handset. When
you talk into the microphone:
•
hold the microphone side-on and close to your mouth
•
hold down
PTT
•
speak clearly at your normal volume and rate
•
use the word ‘over’ to indicate that you have finished
speaking, then release PTT (the transceiver may be set up to
transmit a short beep when you release PTT)
CAUTION:
Your conversation can be monitored by anyone
tuned to your transmit frequency. Your signal
can potentially travel very large distances.
If PTT is held continuously for a certain length of time, the system
stops transmission, switches to receive and shows an error message
on the control point. This ensures that, even if the PTT button is
being held down accidentally, the battery will not be flattened, and
your transceiver is ready to receive calls.
You can set the length of time the system waits before it cuts
transmission (default is 10 min), or switch this feature off.
