Press the
PTT
switch.
When a group is available, the
TX/BUSY
indicator will glow red. The radio is
now transmitting. While holding in the
PTT
switch, speak across the face of the
microphone in a clear and normal voice. For best transmission, hold the micro-
phone about 1-1/2 to 2 inches away from your mouth. Release the
PTT
switch
to receive.
If all groups are busy, a continuous tone will be heard from the radio, and the
“
BUSY
” notation will appear on the display when the
PTT
switch is pressed.
Release the
PTT
switch.
If the radio is out of range during the transmitting attempt, slow beeps will be
heard followed by a continuous tone from the radio.
Automatic Time-Out Timer
If the selected channel has been programmed for automatic time-out, you must limit
the length of each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound 10 seconds
before time-out. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the red “
TX
”
indicator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume trans-
mitting, you must release the
PTT
switch and wait for the “penalty timer” to expire
(if you press the
PTT
switch before this timer expires, the timer restarts, and you
will have to wait another “penalty” period)
