TRANSMIT
Follow these steps to transmit:
1. Press the PTT switch. When the
transmitter is on, the red transmit
indicator glows and the transmit icon
[ ] appears in the display.
2. Talk in a normal voice with the
microphone 1–2 inches from your
mouth.
3. Release the PTT switch to stop
transmitting.
If the transmit status indicator does not
glow red when you press the PTT
switch, the battery pack may need to
be charged. If so, the display will show
the low-battery icon [ ], and the red
low-battery status indicator will flash.
If the transmit status indicator does
not glow and you hear a boop (low
error tone), you are on a receive-only
channel or the channel is busy (if busy
channel lockout is enabled). Select an
authorized transmit channel.
If you talk longer than the preset
timer setting, the transmitter
automatically shuts off, and you hear a
boop. To continue transmitting,
release the PTT switch, press it again,
and continue talking.
