TRANSMITTER
WARNING:
Before you attempt to transmit, attach an antenna
with a low standing wave ratio to the antenna
connector. Failure to provide a proper load may
cause damage to the final amplifier section. Always
check that the frequency is clear before transmitting.
1 To transmit, follow these steps:
1 Use any of the frequency selection methods
discussed on page 12 to select an operating
frequency.
2 Listen to the frequency to see if it’s occupied before
attempting to transmit on it.
3 Press the PTT (Press to talk) switch. The ON AIR
indicator and battery level meter will appear.
4 Speak into the microphone from the recommended
distance of 5 cm (2 inches). Talking closer or farther
away can result in loss of clarity, an excessively wide
transmit signal, or weak audio.
5 Release the PTT switch to return to the receive
mode. The ON AIR and battery level meter
indicators should go out.
