1Select your desired band and frequency/channel.

2Press and hold the microphone [PTT] switch and speak into the microphone to transmit.

The icon and the RF power meter appear on the display for the selected transmit band. The RF power meter shows the relative transmit output power.

The / / icon appears on the display, depending on what output power you have selected {page 70}.

Speak into the microphone in your normal voice, while keeping the microphone approximately 5 cm from your mouth. Speaking too close to the microphone or too loudly may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility of your signal at the receiving station.
