Getting Started
5.3 Your First RF Transmission
In order for other people to be able to listen to your messages, both PMR sets must be set
to the same channel and to the same CTCSS/CDCSS code (see pages 16 and 17). After
powering on the transceivers for the first time, Channel 1 and CTCSS code 1 are preset by
default.
•
If 2 or more stations press the PTT button (13) simultaneously, the receiver
will receive the strongest signal only or both signals will mix and interference
will occur. Therefore you should press the PTT button (13) only whenever
the channel is free.
•
Always pay attention to the maximum range.
•
Hold the PMR vertically and keep the microphone approx. 10cm (4-inch)
from your mouth.
•
The maximum transmission time is 1 minute. For longer messages you may
have to release the PTT button (13) and press it again to continue talking.

1. Press and hold the PTT button (13). The transmission icon will
appear on the display, the unit starts sending and you can
speak your message into the microphone (8). Additionally, the
LED indicator (1) lights red.
All PMR sets tuned to the same channel and located within
range will hear your message.
2. Release the PTT button (13) when you are done with your
message.
3. Listen to the answer of the remote station.
4. Before you can answer again you have to wait until the remote
station finishes its message. If you have enabled the Roger
beep function (see page 22), the PMR will send an acoustic
signal when releasing the PTT button (13). To answer, press
and hold the PTT button (13) again and speak into the
microphone.
