The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic purposes: • While a call is in progress,
the PTT button allows the radio to transmit to other radios in the call. Press and hold down PTT
button to talk. Release the PTT button to listen. The microphone is activated when the PTT button is pressed.
• While a call is not in
progress, the PTT button
is used to make a new call. See Making a Radio Call on page 43 for more information.
