OPERATING THE TRANSCEIVER
USING THE MICROPHONE
46 ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER GETTING STARTED GUIDE
Using the microphone
The microphone on the handset is located at the top between the and
keys. When you talk into the microphone:
• hold the microphone side-on and close to your mouth
• hold down PTT
• speak clearly at your normal volume and rate
• release PTT to return to receiving mode
On the desk console, you can speak directly into the boom microphone.
NOTE: By default, the transceiver is set up to transmit a short
beep when you release PTT. This removes the need for
you to say ‘over’ at the end of your transmission.
CAUTION: Your conversation can be monitored by anyone tuned to
your transmit frequency, unless you are using one of
Codan’s encryptors. Your signal can potentially travel
very large distances.
If PTT is held continuously for a certain length of time, the system stops
transmission, switches to receive and shows an error message on the
control point. This ensures that, even if the PTT button is being held
down accidentally, the battery will not be flattened, and your
transceiver is ready to receive calls.
You can set the length of time the system waits before it cuts
transmission (default is 10 min), or switch off this feature.
