If a Speaker/Microphone
is available, remove the
plastic cap and its two
mounting screws from
the r ight s ide o f t h e
transceiver, then align
the c o nne c tor of the
Speak er/Mi crophone
on the radio; secure the connector pin using the
screws supplied with the Speaker/Microphone.
Hold the speaker grille up next to your ear while
receiving. To transmit, press the
PTT
switch on
the Speaker/Microphone, just as you would on
the main transceiver’s body, and speak into the
microphone on a normal voice level.
Note 1): Save the original plastic cap and its
mounting screws. They should be reinstalled
when not using the Speaker/Microphone.
2) When you press the PTT switch on the Speak-
er/Microphone, it disables the internal micro-
phone, and vice versa.

If the Busy Channel Lockout feature has been
programmed on a channel, the radio will not
transmit when a carrier is present. Instead, the ra-
dio will generate short beep three times. Release
the
PTT
switch and wait for the channel to be
clear of activity.

If the BCLO (Busy Channel Lockout), CTCSS
Lockout, or Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) Lock-
out has been programmed on a channel, the radio
can transmit only when there is no carrier being
received (BCLO) or when the carrier being re-
ceived includes the correct CTCSS tone or DCS
code.
Automatic Time-Out Timer
If the selected channel has been programmed for au-
tomatic time-out, you must limit the length of each
transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound
10 seconds before time-out. Another beep will sound
just before the deadline; the top panel’s red LED (“
TX
”
indicator) will disappear and transmission will cease
soon thereafter. To resume transmitting, you must re-
lease the
PTT
switch and wait for the “penalty timer”
to expire.
