Transmission
To transmit, press and hold the
PTT
switch. Speak
into the microphone area
of the front panel grille
in a normal voice level.
To return to the receive
mode, release the
PTT
switch.
Important Note- The
PTT
switch should be pressed
inward and in a slightly downward direction for
proper operation. Do not press the
PTT
switch in an
upward direction, as this will cause unreliable clo-
sure of the
PTT
switch, and it may damage the rub-
ber boot. This angle of
PTT
switch actuation is de-
signed to be ergonomically optimum when the radio
is being held in the palm of your hand.
