and its options to configure this feature.
TRANSMITTING
Prior to transmitting, always check the channel is clear. This can be done by
listening to the channel or by visually checking that the
icon is not visible or
the signal meter is not indicating a signal.
To transmit:
1.
Press the
PTT
on the microphone. The
icon will appear.
2.
Hold the microphone about 3-5 cm from your face and speak at a
normal voice level. Since the microphone is quite sensitive, it is not
necessary to raise your voice or shout.
3.
Release the
PTT
when you have finished talking, the
icon will
disappear.
Always listen to ensure the channel is free before transmitting.
TIME-OUT TIMER
The radio has a built-in time-out timer that automatically limits transmissions to
a maximum of 3 minutes of continuous operation. This feature is required by the
ACMA to prevent accidental blocking of the frequency should your PTT
become
jammed or be otherwise pressed accidentally.
When the time-out timer activates, the radio will give a low tone for a few
seconds and the transmitter will be temporarily disabled. Release the
PTT
to
restore normal operation.
BUSY LOCKOUT
When enabled, the
Busy Lockout
function detects when someone is transmitting
on the channel and prevents your radio from transmitting over them. If you
press the
PTT
when the channel is busy the radio will emit a warning beep and
the
icon won’t be displayed. If this happens, look for the
icon on the
display as an indicator that the channel is already in use. If the channel is busy,
simply wait until the channel is clear and press the
PTT
again.
