on the Speaker/Microphone, just as you would on the

main transceiver’s body, and speak into the micro-

phone on a normal voice level.

Note 1): Save the original plastic cap and its mount-

ing screws. They should be reinstalled when not us-

ing the Speaker/Microphone.

2) When you press the PTT switch on the Speaker/

Microphone, it disables the internal microphone, and

vice versa.

If the BCLO (Busy Channel Lockout) feature has been

programmed on a channel, the radio will not transmit

when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will gener-

ate short beep three times. Release the PTT switch and

wait for the channel to be clear of activity.

If the BTLO (Busy Tone Lockout) feature has been

programmed on a channel, the radio can transmit only

when there is no carrier being received or when the

carrier being received includes the correct tone (CTCSS

tone or DCS code).

Automatic.Time-Out.Timer

If the selected channel has been programmed for auto-

matic time-out, you must limit the length of each trans-

mission. While transmitting, a beep will sound 10 seconds

before time-out. Another beep will sound just before the

deadline; the top panel’s red LED (“TX” indicator) will

disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To

resume transmitting, you must release the PTT switch and

wait for the “penalty timer” to expire.
