Transmitting
1 To transmit, hold the transceiver approximately 5 cm
(2 inches) from your mouth, then press and hold
[PTT] and speak into the microphone in your normal
tone of voice.
• The LED lights red and the bar-graph meter appears.
• If you press [PTT] while you are outside of the
transmission coverage, a high pitched error beep
sounds.
2 When you finish speaking, release [PTT].
Note: If you continuously transmit for longer than the time specified
in Menu No. 23 (default is 10 minutes) {page 94}, the internal time-
out timer generates a warning beep and the transceiver stops
transmitting. In this case, release [PTT] and let the transceiver cool
down for a while, then press [PTT] again to resume transmission
{page 116}.
■ Selecting an Output Power
Selecting a lower transmission power is the best way
to reduce battery consumption, if communication is
still reliable. You can configure different power levels
for transmission {page 95}.
Press [F], [PTT] to cycle between “ ” (high), “ ”
(medium), and “ ” (low).
