Section IV Operation (Continued)

15.PRESS-TO-TALK MICROPHONE. The receiver and transmitter are controlled by the press-to-talk switch on the microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated; release switch to receive. When transmitting, hold the microphone two inches from the mouth and speak clearly in a normal "voice." The radio is supplied with a low-impedance 500-ohm dynamic desktop microphone. For installation instructions on other microphones, see "ALTERNATE MICROPHONES AND INSTALLATION.

16.HEAD PHONE JACK. For your individual listening with head phones.

17.EXTERNAL SPEAKER (Optional). The External Speaker Jack is used for remote receiver monitoring. The external speaker should have 8-ohm impedance and be rated to handle at least 4.0 watts. When the external speaker is plugged in, the internal speaker is automatically disconnected.

•WX ALERT TONE. If threatening weather is nearby, the National Weather Service may broadcast a 10 second alert tone. This tone will be heard through the CB, even if the CB/WX Switch is in the CB mode or the unit is turned off (see NOTE below). This enables you to monitor CB frequen- cies and still be warned by the National Weather Service Emergency Alert. When you hear the Alert, place the CB/WX switch in the WX position. You will then be able to hear the Weather Warning Broadcast.

NOTE: If you are using the CB mode, remember to change the CB/WX Switch from CB to WX every so often to make sure you are continually tuned to the clearest weather band channel in case an alert is broadcast.
