How do I send a PTT message?
How do I receive a PTT message?
1. Press and hold the red latch
2. When G7c finishes beeping, continue to hold and begin talking with
the device about 6 inches from your mouth.
NOTE: If you are using an O sensor, be sure that you are talking into G7’s
microphone, not the cartridge, as this could cause gas alarms.
3. When you’re finished talking, release the latch. G7 allows PTT messages
up to 30 seconds in length.
4. G7c will beep once more to let you know it’s done listening
1. G7c will beep twice to signal an incoming PTT message
