3.11 Transmitting
Press and hold the Push-to-Talk (
PTT
) key on the microphone to transmit on the
selected channel, and then release to receive. The TX indicator appears during
transmission.
Note:
International regulations and good communications practice dictate that you not
interfere with other communications. Before transmitting, listen to make sure the channel
is clear.
The radio is equipped with a timeout timer in the event of a stuck key. After
PTT
has been held continuously for 5 minutes, transmission is discontinued, the
message TX TIMEOUT appears, and the radio automatically returns to receive
mode.
After the timeout, the alarm continues to sound until
PTT
is released. The TX time
out timer is reset once the
PTT
key is released.
Note:
If the current channel is receive-only, an alert tone sounds when PTT is pressed, in-
dicating such a transmission is not permitted.
