TX6165 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TRANSMITTING
To transmit:
1. Press and hold the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch. The other radio you are talking to must be
set to the same channel.
2. Hold the radio approximately 5-8 cm from your mouth with the antenna vertical and speak
into the built-in microphone.
3. While the PTT switch is pressed, the LED indicator on the upper edge of the radio will light
red and the icon will appear on the LCD.
4. When you have nished speaking, release the PTT switch to receive incoming signals (it is
not possible to transmit and receive at the same time). If no further signals are received,
the unit will revert to Standby mode.
Note: The PTT switch can also be used to transmit a Call Alarm melody.
When the Call Alarm melody is enabled (see Menu options for more details on Call Alarm settings),
pressing the PTT switch twice quickly will play the Call Alarm melody in the speaker of other radios
on the same channel to alert them to your call. During this time the icon is displayed and the LED
indicator will light red for about 5 seconds. The Call Alarm can only be sent once per minute.
TIME-OUT TIMER
The radio has a built-in time-out timer that automatically limits transmissions to a maximum of 3
minutes of continuous operation. This feature is required by the ACMA to prevent accidental blocking
of the frequency should your PTT become jammed or be otherwise pressed accidentally. When the
time-out timer activates, the radio will beep. Normal operation will be restored once the PTT is
released.
SELECTING CHANNELS
1. In the Standby mode, press the key to step up one channel or the key to step down
one channel.
2. Press and hold the or keys to quickly scroll through the channels.
