PRESS-TO-TALK MICROPHONE 

 

The receiver and transmitter are controlled by the press-to-talk switch on the 
microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated, release switch 
to receive. When transmitting, hold the microphone two inches from the 
mouth and speak clearly in a normal “voice”. The radios come complete with 
low-impedance (500 ohm) dynamic microphone. For installation instruction 
on other microphones, see next section, “ALTERNATE MICROPHONES 
AND INSTALLATION”. 
 

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE 

 

1.  Be sure that power source, microphone and antenna are connected to the 

proper connectors before going to the next step.

actually received. Do not advance the control too far, or some of the 
weaker signals will not be heard.
