If the channel is busy, you may not be able to
transmit. Wait until the green status LED has
stopped glowing, and then try again.

While you are transmitting the LED glows red and
the transmit symbol appears in the display:
Limiting call time (transmit timer)
Your radio may limit the amount of time you can talk
(transmit) continuously. This is known as the ‘transmit
timer’ or ‘time-out timer’ and allows other radio users to
make calls on that channel.
The message Transmit Timeout Imminent appears in
the display.
Finish your conversation as soon as possible and release
the PTT. For a short time, your radio may prevent you
from making a call.
