PRESS-TO-TALK MICROPHONE 

 

The receiver and transmitter are controlled by the press-to-talk switch on the 
microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated, release switch 
to receive. When transmitting, hold the microphone two inches from the 
mouth and speak clearly in a normal “voice”. The radios come complete with 
low-impedance (500 ohm) dynamic microphone. For installation instruction 
on other microphones, see next section, “ALTERNATE MICROPHONES 
AND INSTALLATION”. 
 

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE 

 

1.  Be sure that power source, microphone and antenna are connected to the 

proper connectors before going to the next step. 

 

2.  Turn unit on by tuning 

VOL 

control clockwise on your transceiver. 

 

3. Set 

the 

VOLUME

 for a comfortable listening level. 

 

4. Set 

the 

MODE

 switch to the desire mode. 

 

5.  Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the 

SQUELCH

 

control slowly clockwise until the noise 

JUST

 disappears (no signal 

should be present). Leave the control at this setting. The 

SQUELCH

 is 

now properly adjusted. The receive will remain quiet until a signal is 
actually received. Do not advance the control too far, or some of the 
weaker signals will not be heard. 

 

6. Set 

CHANNEL

 selector switch to the desired channel. 

 

7. Set 

the 

RF

 gain control fully clockwise for maximum 

RF

 gain. 

 

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO TRANSMIT 

 

1.  Select the desired channel of transmission. 

 

2. Set 

the 

MIC GAIN

 control fully clockwise. 

 

3.  If the channel is clear, depress the push-to-talk switch on the microphone 

and speak in a normal voice.
