To transmit
When the channel is clear, press and hold down the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button on the side of the
microphone, and speak slowly and clearly. The TRANSMIT/BUSY LED will remain red until the
PTT button is released to indicate that you are “on the air”.
The red TRANSMIT/BUSY LED will flash whenever there is another carrier on the selected chan-
nel.
NOTE:
If your radio has the Time-out-timer (TOT) function activated, transmission will termi-
nate if you hold the PTT button down for over 60 seconds or the programmed time
period. When this occurs, an alert tone sounds four seconds before the transmission is
cut. To resume transmitting, release the PTT and push again.
