Transmitting

Before transmitting, check to see if the channel is already in

use ('BUSY' will be displayed and the LED on the top of the

radio will be green). If the channel is busy, you should wait

until it is clear before transmitting.

To transmit, press the Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch on the

left-hand side of the radio. Hold the radio about 5-8 cms

from your face with the antenna vertical and speak into the

built-in microphone located just below the speaker. When

talking, speak at a normal voice level. The microphone is quite

sensitive so it is not necessary to raise your voice or shout.

Receiving

Note:

Your radio may be programmed with options that

could affect the way your radio behaves when it receives a

call from another radio.

Normal Reception

Your radio will normally be muted (squelched) so that it is

quiet when there are no signals. When a transmission is

received, the radio will automatically unmute itself to allow

you to hear the call. When receiving a signal, adjust the

volume control as desired for a comfortable listening level.

The BUSY Indicator

Whenever the channel is active, the BUSY indicator will

appear on the display and the green LED on the top of the

radio will light. However, depending on the muting options

selected on your radio, you may not always hear any sound

from the speaker. This can happen when others are sharing

the channel but their calls are not meant for you. For this

reason it is important that you visually check that the

channel is not busy before making a call to ensure you do

not accidentally talk over someone else.

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS

* Allows access to a second feature programmed into any key by ﬁrst pressing the assigned Function key

The front panel keys are able to perform multiple functions

depending on how they are programmed. Since most of

these functions can be programmed into any of the front

panel keys, no speciﬁc key can be addressed as performing a

particular function. The following table can be used to mark

the speciﬁc features that may be programmed into your

radio against the front panel keys that will access them.

Your TX7200 will have been programmed by the dealer

to suit your speciﬁc requirements by enabling only those

features that are useful to your operation. Your dealer will

show you how to use those features.

Tick the boxes that match the function keys on your radio

with the speciﬁc feature programmed by your dealer.
