1 Select your desired band and frequency/channel.
2 Press and hold the microphone [PTT] switch and speak into the microphone to
transmit.
• The icon and the RF power meter appear on the display for the selected
transmit band. The RF power meter shows the relative transmit output power.
• The / / icon(s) appear on the display, depending on what output power you
have selected.
• Speak into the microphone in your normal voice, while keeping the microphone
approximately 5 cm from your mouth. Speaking too close to the microphone or too
loudly may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility of your signal at the receiving
station.
3 When you finish speaking, release the [PTT] switch.
Note:
When the transceiver overheats because of ambient high temperature or
continuous transmission, the protective circuit may function to lower transmit
output power.
