In the United States, FCC regulations require you to
monitor the channel before you transmit.
Press the PTT.

from your mouth while speaking clearly into it.

the microphone glows red while you are transmitting.

Time-Out Timer (T.O.T.) limits the amount of time you have to transmit.
Busy Channel Lockout–Several groups of radio users may share a
channel. Busy channel lockout monitors channel activity for you (even
activity you cannot hear), preventing you from transmitting while other
groups are using a channel.
When you reach the time limit, a continuous, low-pitched tone
sounds (until you release the PTT) and your transmission is cut off.
If the channel is busy when you try to transmit, a series of low-pitched
tones sounds until you release the PTT.
