Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) Modes

Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) modes gives you the ability

to interact with other GMRS radios. When you use this

capability, be sure to follow the procedures and to observe

the courtesies that govern its use so everyone benefits. (See

pages 18 through 27) to help you select the proper

channels.

When a talk transmission occurs, the following icons will be

displayed.

To Transmit a Message:

1. Check to see that your radio is set to a proper

channel for the type of message you plan to send.

2. Toggle to the Low Power setting.

3. With the microphone about 2 in. [5 cm] from your

mouth, press and hold the Talk button and speak

into the microphone. The Tx icon will appear on the

LCD.

4. Release the Talk button when you are finished

speaking. Your radio can only operate in either

Transmit (Tx) or Receive (Rx) mode at any given

time. You will not hear the response to your

message unless the Talk button is released. If the

Battery Power icon begins blinking on the LCD

when the Talk button is pressed, the radio will NOT

transmit.

NOTE

If the Talk button is held down for five (5) minutes,

the radio will automatically sound a series of beeps

and cease transmitting to prevent unwanted signal

generation and battery drain. As soon as the Talk

button is released, it can be pressed again to resume

transmission.
