4.10 Transmitting
Press and hold the Push-To-Talk (
PTT
) key to transmit on the selected channel,
then release to receive. The TX indicator appears while transmitting.
The radio is equipped with a timeout timer as per regulatory requirements. After
PTT
has been held continuously for 5 minutes, transmission is discontinued and
the radio automatically returns to receive mode. An Error beep is emitted 10
seconds before the time out is triggered and TX flashes on the display until
PTT
is
released.
The TX time out timer is reset once the
PTT
key is released.
Note:
If the current channel is a TX-prohibited channel, an alarm sounds when PTT is
pressed, indicating such a transmission is not permitted.
