Receiving communications
When your FRS unit is turned on and is not being used to transmit voice
communication or pages, it is always in the listening mode.
You can not receive any transmissions when the TALK or CALL buttons
are pressed, even if you are not saying anything. Pressing these bottoms
automatically overrides and turns off the transmit mode.
when you are using the unit in conversation, you must release the TALK
and or CALL buttons to hear the responses of the other people.
Failure to do so will keep your unit in transmission mode, preventing you
from hearing other units.
To speak directly to an other radio
1. Push and hold the PTT button/switch to transmit. The LCD transmit
icon will light-on (see LCD PANEL SYMBOLS for details)
2. While holding the PTT button/switch, speak in a normal voice about
2 to 3 inches away form the microphone.
3. Release the PTT button/switch when you have finished transmitting.
NOTE: In order for other people to receive your transmission, they must
also be on the same channel and CTCSS code you are currently using.
Refer to the “Changing Channels” section for more information. (Page 5)
