2. Without pressing the
PTT
switch, speak into the
microphone in a normal voice level. When you start
speaking, the transmitter should be activated auto-
matically. When you nish speaking, the transceiver
should return to the receive mode (after a short de-
lay).

PTT
operation, touch

” indica-
tion will turn OFF, signifying that the VOX circuitry

tal transmitter activation in a noisy environment. To
