TRANSMITTING

1To transmit, press and hold Mic [PTT] and speak into the microphone in a normal tone of voice.

• “ON AIR” and the RF power meter appear.

•Speaking too close to the microphone, or too loudly, may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility of your signals at the receiving station.

•The RF power meter shows the relative transmit output power.

2When you finish speaking, release Mic [PTT].

Time-Out Timer: Holding down Mic [PTT] for more than 10 minutes causes the transceiver to generate a beep and stop transmitting. Release, then press Mic [PTT] to resume transmitting. You may change the time-out time to 3 or 5 minutes {page 70}.

■Selecting Output Power

It’s wise to select lower transmit power if communication is still reliable. This lowers the risk of interfering with others on the band. When operating from battery power, you will enjoy more operating time before a charge is necessary.

Press [LOW] to select high (“H”), medium (“M”), or low (“L”) power. The default is high.

• You can program a different power for band A and B.

◆Do not transmit at high output power for an extended period of time. The transceiver could overheat and malfunction.

◆Continuous transmission causes the heat sink to overheat. Never touch the heat sink when it may be hot.

Note: When the transceiver overheats because of ambient high temperature or continuous transmission, the protective circuit may function to lower transmit output power.
