Transmitting and correct use of microphone
With the transmission button (Push To Talk) on the side of the microphone you can
switch between receiving and transmitting:
! Press PTT button to transmit.
Your radio is equipped with a TX control LED, this will light when You are
transmitting on an allowed channel in an allowed mode.
! Release PTT button again to switch back to receiving.
When the transmission PTT button is depressed, you can speak from a distance of
about 5-10 cm into the microphone. After pressing the PTT button, please wait about
½ second before You start speaking. Please remember- that different from GSM
phones- You share one channel common for transmit and receive, and Your
transmitter and the receiver(s) on the distant side need a certain time to switch on.
The modulation amplifier of your AE 4200 R is sensitive enough and enables you in
most cases to speak with even more distance, depending on how loud your voice is.
An automatic regulator ensures that your partner always hears your signal at the
same volume.
It is best to test the best distance from the microphone for yourself with the help of
another station.
