Talking and Listening

Talking and Listening

To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel and Interference Eliminator Code.

To talk, press and hold M. Hold the radio 2 to 3 inches away from your mouth when talking.

When you finish talking, release M (press to talk, release to listen).

Talk Range

Your radio is designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range. Do not use the radios closer than 5 feet apart.

Checking the Channel Before Transmitting

Your radio has multiple channels shared on a “take turns” basis. For uninterrupted communication, do not talk on a channel if someone else is currently talking on it.

To check for activity on a channel before you talk, press and hold Q or J. If you hear static, the channel is clear to use.
