EFJohnson 7700 Series Dealer Programming, Speaking Into Microphone, Operation At Extended Range

MISCELLANEOUS

Dealer Programming

As noted several times in this manual, programming determines the availability and specific operation of many features. This refers to the programming performed by your dealer when the radio was set up, not to any programming that you can perform. If a feature is controlled by a front panel option switch and that switch is not available, it is probably not available or in a fixed condition. Contact your dealer for more infor- mation on how programmable functions have been set for your application.

Speaking Into Microphone

For best results, hold the speaker grille about 1-2 inches from your mouth and speak at a normal conversational level. Do not shout since it distorts your voice and does not increase range. Make sure that the PTT (push-to-talk) switch is pressed before you begin to speak and released as soon as the message is complete.

Operation At Extended Range

When approaching the limits of radio range, the other party may not be able to hear your transmissions and there may be an increase in back- ground noise when messages are received. You may still be out of range even though you can hear a message. The reason for this is that the signal you are receiving is usually transmitted at a higher power level than the one transmitted by your transceiver. Communication may be improved by moving to higher ground or away from shielding objects such as tall buildings or hills.

Licensing

A government license is usually required to operate this transceiver on the air. Your dealer will normally handle the licensing requirements.
