TO TRANSMIT A MESSAGE
1.
Confirm that the radio is turned on (channel indicator lit). If not, press
POWER switch.
2.
Select the desired channel by pressing either the 1 or 2 switch.
3.
Press and hold MONITOR switch and then adjust VOLUME controls for
the desired listening level. Release MONITOR switch.
4.
Decide what you want to say. If you intend a lengthy message (or several
messages), the vehicle engine should be running to maintain the battery
charge.
5.
Observe the BUSY indicator and press the MONITOR switch to assure that
the channel is not in use.
6.
Remove microphone from hookswitch, press the PTT switch, and identify
yourself. The XMIT indicator will light each time the PTT switch is
pressed.
7.
Release the PTT switch and wait for an answer to your call, then complete
your message.
NOTE:
Always speak in a normal voice. Hold the microphone cupped in
your hand and touching your cheek lightly. Speak across the face of
your microphone, not directly into if. Shouting will actually reduce
your radio range, so do not speak any louder than normal.
