Talking and listening
It is good radio etiquette to monitor the channel for activity before you transmit, to ensure that you do not interrupt other users already on the channel.
Press and hold the 
button to check for channel activity. If you hear static, the channel is clear for use. Your radio has 40 channels. If you are in a group and you wish to talk to each other, all radios must be set to the same channel and interference eliminator code (CTCSS). If you experience interference and need to change channel, ensure that you change the channel and code of all radios in your group.
1.For maximum clarity, hold radio 5 to 7cm’s from mouth.

and speak to the microphone. LED indicator light glows continuously when transmitting.
