7.4. RECEIVING
The radio will listen on the displayed Channel.
The Solid Speaker Icon will show when a valid signal is being
received and audio will be heard at the loudspeaker.
An Outline Speaker Icon will show if a signal is present but the
audio is muted for some reason (e.g. incorrect CTCSS tone, or
the Selcall Mute is closed).
Note:- If the displayed channel is a Vote or Multiax channel then the Rotating Arrow
symbol will be displayed while the radio is searching for a signal. When stopped on a
channel the Rotating Arrow disappears and the selected Channel Name may be
displayed.
7.5. TRANSMITTING
WARNING
RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION. A RF RADIATION HAZARD EXISTS IN THIS
EQUIPMENT. TO AVOID RF INJURY, DO NOT TOUCH THE ANTENNA
WHEN THE TRANSMITTER IS IN USE. DO NOT OPERATE TRANSMITTER
WITH ANTENNA DISCONNECTED. REFER TO THE PERSONAL SAFETY
PAGES.
To avoid interfering with other users of the channel, listen first to ensure no
transmissions are occurring. Make sure that the Outline Speaker Icon is not shown.
Hold the portable a few centimetres from the mouth, press the PTT switch and note
that the Tx Light Emitting Diode (LED) is Red. Speak clearly across the face of the
portable in a normal conversational manner.
Note:-The microphone is located near the bottom right hand corner of the portable
radio’s speaker grille.
In most systems it is important to wait a short time between pressing the PTT and
commencing to speak. This ensures that the path is properly established and avoids
lost or truncated speech.
Use the correct operating procedure and keep transmissions short.
Release the PTT as soon as you finish speaking your message.
