Making a call
To make a call:
1 Select the required zone (see "Selecting a zone"

3 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.
4 Hold the microphone about 2 inches (5 cm) from
your mouth and press the PTT key to transmit.
If the channel is busy, you may not be able to

While you are transmitting the red LED glows and
appears on the display.

release the PTT key. For a short time, your radio
may prevent you from making another call.
