Transmit
Press the 1. PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch on the microphone. The TX

illuminates while the PTT is pressed.
Talk in a normal voice with the microphone approximately one to 2.
two inches from your mouth.
Release the 3. PTT switch to stop transmitting.
If the TX annunciator does not appear and a tone is heard, you are on
a receive-only channel or the channel is busy (if Busy Channel Lockout
is enabled). Turn the Channel Selector knob to an authorized transmit
channel or wait until the channel is clear (if Busy Channel Lockout is
enabled).
If the length of your transmission exceeds the preset Time-Out Timer
setting, the transmitter automatically shuts off and a tone sounds. To
continue the transmission, release the PTT switch, then press it again
and continue talking.
