OPERATING THE TRANSCEIVER

USING THE MICROPHONE

ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL 65

Using the microphone

The microphone is located at the top centre of your handset. When you talk into the

microphone:

• hold the microphone side-on and close to your mouth

• hold down PTT

• speak clearly at your normal volume and rate

• release PTT to return to receiving mode

NOTE: By default, the transceiver is set up to transmit a short beep when you

release PTT. This removes the need for you to say ‘over’ at the end of

your transmission.

CAUTION: Your conversation can be monitored by anyone tuned to your transmit

frequency, unless you are using one of Codan’s encryption options.

Your signal can potentially travel very large distances.

If PTT is held continuously for a certain length of time, the system stops transmission,

switches to receive and shows an error message on the control point. This ensures that,

even if the PTT button is being held down accidentally, the battery will not be

flattened, and your transceiver is ready to receive calls.

You can set the length of time the system waits before it cuts transmission (default is

10 min), or switch this feature off.
