6 Operation
60 FAV_D10048 June 2014
6.4 Transmit (Talk) Operation
IMPORTANT!
 Please keep radio discipline!
 Transmit only on a clear channel.
 Do not transmit on 121.50 as this is the international emergency
frequency!
 Care for an all-round obstacle free antenna location; the called
station should be within "line-of-sight" distance.
 Never place the radio such as the antenna gets very close to, or
touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the face, shoulder or
the eyes.
1. If the operating mode shall be changed: Push the F/CH button.
2. If the active frequency shall be changed: refer to § 6.2 Turning ON - Selecting
Frequency - Audio Volume.
3. Transmitting is normally performed on a clear channel (no communication audible).
4. Press and hold the PTT (Push-To-Talk) key. Talk in a loud, clear voice with the
microphone opening 2 to 4 cm (1" - 2") from your lips. Make each transmission as
brief as possible. As long as the PTT key is pressed the TX/RX LED on the front lights
red! When modulated properly, the red TX/RX LED turns to flickering yellow.
5. Release the PTT key to end transmission and to clear the channel for reception; the
TX/RX LED must turn to clear (Standby) or green (Receive / Intercom).
IMPORTANT!
 The radio is equipped with a transmit TOT time out timer. This is used to
limit the duration of transmissions to approximately 2 minutes. When the
transmitter is keyed continuously longer than 2 minutes the display of the
FSG 2T starts flashing and transmission is disabled. Although the display is
flashing receiving on the displayed frequency is possible!
 If you have to make calls longer than 2 minutes, momentarily release the
PTT key and press again.
 Should the TOT disable the transmitter accidentally (e.g. stuck PTT key)
and you have to transmit, turn radio OFF and ON again. This allows
another 2 minutes to transmit.
