4.3 TRANSMISSION
1. Perform steps 1 through 7 of RECEPTION.
2. Before transmitting, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.
THIS IS AN FCC REQUIREMENT!
3. For communications over short distances, press the H/L key until “L” is
displayed on the LCD. This indicates low power, approximately 1 watt.
NOTE
Transmitting on 1 watt prolongs battery life. Low power (1 watt) should
be selected whenever possible.
4. If using low power is not effective, select high power (5 watts) by
pressing the H/L key until “H” is displayed.
5. When receiving a signal, wait until the signal stops before transmitting.
The transceiver cannot transmit and receive simultaneously.
6. Press the PTT (push - to - talk) switch. The TX indicator is displayed
during transmission.
7. Speak slowly and clearly into the microphone. Hold the microphone
about 1/2 to 1 inch away from your mouth.
8. When the transmission is finished, release the PTT switch.
9. Refer to the OWNER’S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT for standard
transceiver operating procedures.
4.4 TRANSMIT TIME - OUT TIMER (TOT)
While the PTT switch is held down, transmission time is limited to 5
minutes. This prevents prolonged unintentional transmissions. About 10
seconds before automatic transmitter shutdown, a warning beep is
sounded from the speaker. The transceiver automatically switches to the
receiving mode, even if the PTT switch is held down. Before transmitting
again, the PTT switch must first be released and pressed again. This time-
out timer (TOT) prevents a continuous transmission that would result from
an accidentally stuck PTT switch.
