CAUTION:
Attach an antenna before transmitting.
Transmitting without an antenna may damage the
transceiver.
1. Wait until the channel is clear to avoid interference.
2. While holding down [PTT], speak at your normal voice
level.
3. Release [PTT] to receive.
IMPORTANT:
To maximize the readability of your signal:
