CONVENTIONAL OPERATION

■ Transmitting

Note: Before transmitting, monitor the channel to make sure it is not already in use. If the
selected channel is programmed with QT (Quiet Talk) or DQT (Digital Quiet Talk), remove the
microphone from the hook to disable QT or DQT, then listen to the channel to make sure nobody
is talking on it. If the selected channel is not programmed with QT or DQT, simply listen to the
channel to make sure nobody is talking on it; in this case, you need not remove the microphone
from the hook.
1 Select the desired group and channel using the Group and Channel keys.
• If the channel is busy, wait until it becomes free.
2 Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone. Release the PTT
switch to receive.
• For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the microphone
approximately 1.5 inches (3 ~ 4 cm) from your mouth.
3 When your conversation is finished, return the microphone to its hanger.

■ Receiving

1 Select the desired group and channel using the Group and Channel keys.
