Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 19

3 The 2110 series Manpack Transceiver

The 2110 series Manpack Transceiver consists of:

• a handset

• a 2110 or 2110v transceiver unit

• a battery pack

• an antenna and earthing equipment

The handset is a hand-held device that has a microphone and PTT button. The

microphone and PTT button are used for voice communication.

The transceiver unit modulates audio signals onto radio frequencies that can be

transmitted on air, and demodulates the radio frequencies it receives into audio signals.

The keypad on the front panel of the transceiver unit enables you to control and

configure the 2110 series Manpack Transceiver. The handset connects to the front panel.
