2. Push to transmit.

3. Release to receive.

CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna will damage 

the transceiver.

NOTE: Before using the transceiver for the first time, the 

battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and 

operation. See Section 4 for battery charging.

 • To conserve battery power, the Power Save function 

automatically turns ON when no signal is received for 5 

seconds.

 • The Time-out Timer function cuts OFF transmission 

after 5 minutes* of continuously transmitting, to prevent 

prolonged transmission.

   10 seconds before transmission is cut off, a beep sounds 

to indicate the transmission will be cut off, and “TOT” 

blinks. After it is cut OFF, “TOT” is displayed for 10 

seconds, and you cannot transmit until it disappears.

TIP: To maximize the readability of your transmitted signal, 

pause for a second after pushing [PTT] and hold the 

microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from your mouth, 

and then speak at your normal voice level.
