Holding Your Radio
Your radio has two microphones: a top microphone for simplex dispatcher/private calls and a bottom
microphone for duplex telephone-like calls.
The radio is also equipped with an internal speaker for high audio (located at the middle of the unit)
and an internal earpiece for low audio (located at the top of the unit). The audio can be routed either to
the speaker or the earpiece using the Audio Toggle menu (

the assigned One-Touch Button.
