When the channel is "clear", hold the radio microphone area approximately 2-3 inches from your mouth, keeping the antenna vertical and away from face or eyes. Press and hold the P-T-T bar on the side of the radio, and begin speaking in a clear, normal tone. Release the P-T-T bar when you have finished speaking.
