6.4 Transmit (Talk) Operation
IMPORTANT!
 Please keep radio discipline!
 Transmit only on a clear channel.
 Since 'Transmit Blocking' is normally activated (refer to SET-UP)
transmitting is not possible on a busy channel.
 Care for an all-round obstacle free antenna location; the called
station should be within "line-of-sight" distance.
 Never place the radio such as the antenna gets very close to, or
touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the face, shoulder
or the eyes.
 The radio is equipped with a transmit time out timer (2 minutes).
This is used to limit the duration of calls and to guard against
accidental PTT locking.
 If the display mode shall be changed: Push once or twice the MD button.
 If the USE frequency shall be changed: refer to 6.2 Turning ON - Selecting
Frequency/Channel Name - Volume.
 Transmitting is normally only possible on a clear channel (no communication
audible).
 If you have to transmit (e.g. emergency case) although the channel is busy, the
"Transmit Blocking" circuit may be turned OFF by pushing the SQ button.
 Press and hold the PTT (Push-To-Talk) key. Talk in a loud, clear voice with the
microphone opening 2 to 4 cm (1" - 2") from your lips. Make each transmission as
brief as possible. As long as the PTT key is pressed the Transmit Indicator at the
display appears!
 Release the PTT key to end transmission and to clear the channel for reception; the
Transmit Indicator must disappear. Switch Squelch ON again, if necessary.
 The radio is equipped with a transmit TOT time out timer. This is used to limit the
duration of transmissions to 2 minutes. When the transmitter is keyed continuously
longer than 2 minutes the display of the FSG 90(X) starts flashing and transmission
is disabled.
 If you have to make calls longer than 2 minutes shortly release the PTT key and
press again.
 Should the TOT disable the transmitter accidentally (e.g. stuck PTT key) and you
have to transmit turn radio OFF and ON again. This allows another 2 minutes to
transmit.
