Transmit
1. Select the desired talk group as indicated above.
2. Press the PTT key on the side of the unit. Keep the PTT button
depressed while you transmit your message. Notice that the red TX
indicator flashes at least twice while the radio "handshakes" with
the repeater system. Delay speaking until the TX light is steady. If
the Connect Tone is programmed, just wait for it to sound, then
begin talking. If transmission is difficult, try to find a higher
location with fewer obstructions between you and the repeater site.
Release the PTT key when your message is finished.
3. For best voice quality when transmitting, hold the unit vertically
about one inch from your mouth with the top of the microphone
level with your lips.
Telephone operation
1. Select a talk group allowing telephone access, indicated by the
telephone symbol at the left-most end of the display.
2. Press the PTT to access the system, then release to gain dial tone.
3. Transmit the number manually entered or recalled as described
under DTMF Keypad Functions.
4. If someone answers, key the transmitter to talk and release to
listen.
5. When transmission is complete, "hang up" the connection by
pressing the # button on the keypad or the MON/EXIT button.
