switch the brightness level to minimum for low light viewing. This saves having to
manually readjust the brightness level when moving into low light environments.
To assign the Dim function to a key, press the MENU key and navigate to PROG
BUTTONS and its options to congure this feature.
TRANSMITTING
Prior to transmitting, always check the channel is clear. This can be done by
listening to the channel or by visually checking that the
icon is not visible or
the signal meter is not indicating a signal.
To transmit:
1. Press the PTT on the microphone. The
icon will appear.
2. Hold the microphone about 3-5 cm from your face and speak at a
normal voice level. Since the microphone is quite sensitive, it is not
necessary to raise your voice or shout.
3. Release the PTT when you have nished talking, the
icon will
disappear.
Always listen to ensure the channel is free before transmitting.
TIME-OUT TIMER
The radio has a built-in time-out timer that automatically limits transmissions to
a maximum of 3 minutes of continuous operation. This feature is required by the
ACMA to prevent accidental blocking of the frequency should your PTT
become
jammed or be otherwise pressed accidentally.
When the time-out timer activates, the radio will give a low tone for a few
seconds and the transmitter will be temporarily disabled. Release the PTT to
restore normal operation.
