SENDING A MESSAGE (TRANSMIT)
1. Press MON to deactivate the Coded Squelch feature. If your
transceiver is equipped with the Midland Switched Hang-Up Box,
simply lift the hand microphone from the box, instead. If the
selected channel does not use coded squelch, skip this step.
2. Listen to make sure the selected Channel is clear.
3. Hold the hand microphone close to your mouth, press the Push-
To-Talk Bar (PTT) on the hand microphone to initiate transmit,
then announce your message. To hear the replay, release PTT
when finished speaking.
When your conversation is complete, press MON again to engage the
Code Squelch feature, or return the hand microphone to the Switched
Hang-Up Box.
