Transmitting
A. Rotate the On-Off/Volume control clockwise to turn the
power on.
B. Adjust On-Off/Volume control further clockwise to
desired volume level. (Pressing any of the function
keys will provide a "key press" tone. Use this tone
to set desired audio level).
C. Press the "SYStem" and "GRouP" keys until the desired
System and Group are displayed.
D. If a Conventional System is selected, the channel must be
monitored before transmitting. Press and hold the M
Monitor button. This disables all squelch systems
and allows you to hear any transmissions on this
channel.
E. Press and hold the P-T-T button on the side of the
transceiver. (If a "Busy", "Intercept" or "Ringback"
tone is heard, refer to "Supervisory Tones"
descriptions for more information).
F. Listen for the "Clear to Talk" tone (or wait for the TX
indicator to glow steady) and begin talking. Hold
the transceiver 1 or 2 inches from your mouth,
speak clearly and distinctly into the microphone
area of the front grille.
G. Release the P-T-T button as soon as the message is
complete and listen for a response. The P-T-T
button must be pressed continuously while
talking and released to listen.
