Transmitting
It is important when transmitting to use the microphone to its best advantage. By
following the notes under Using the microphone you will obtain the best transmission
results. This section covers two topics:
• using the microphone
• transmitting a message.
Using the microphone
To connect the microphone to the transceiver, push the microphone plug gently into
the microphone socket and fasten the locking ring finger-tight. Do not over tighten.
Please observe the following when using the microphone:
• Hold the microphone side-on and close to your mouth.
• Hold down the PTT (Press To Talk) button.
• When starting a transmission, always state the call sign of the person you are
addressing and then your own call sign.
• Speak clearly at normal volume and rate.
• Use the word ‘over’ to indicate you have finished speaking and release the PTT
button.
• The transceiver has a ‘time out’ facility that stops the transmission after a pre-set
period. This facility prevents problems occurring if you have jammed the PTT
button down. The ‘time out’ period can be adjusted to suit your requirements—
refer to Section 8, Changing the setup options.
