5. Receiving
• Hold the transceiver with its antenna pointing to the sky.
• You cannot transmit while receiving signals in the same Talkgroup.
•
When receiving is fi nished, the transceiver sounds a “Pi” beep, and displays the “OPENˮ status.
If you hold down [PTT] while receiving signals, the transceiver sounds a “PiPiPiPiPi” beep, and displays “BUSY.”
6. Transmitting
• Wait until the Talkgroup becomes clear.
• While holding down [PTT], speak into the microphone at your normal voice level.
• Release [PTT] to receive.
To maximize the readability of your signal:
1. After holding down [PTT], pause briefly before you start speaking.
2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from your mouth, and then speak at your normal voice level.
When you speak into the microphone, do not cover the mic hole in the front panel.
• Keep the communication ideally within 20 seconds.
This transceiver has a Time Out Timer function, which automatically stops transmissions that exceed 40 seconds. If you
need to transmit further, release [PTT], and then hold down [PTT] again.
• If the connection becomes poor while transmitting, the transceiver sounds a “PuPu“ beep at 1.5 second
intervals. Confi rm that the antenna is pointing to the sky, or attempt to relocate your operating location if the
signal condition does not improve.
NOTE:
• An initial transmission may take up to 2 seconds to authenticate. After this, the service will perform normally. Continue
to hold down [PTT] for several seconds before you begin speaking. This prevents some audio from begin cut off at the
beginning of transmission.
• If the transceiver displays “OPEN” on the display, you can start to transmit.
Before transmission, always confi rm the “OPEN” status on the display.
