PRESS-TO-TALK MICROPHONE
The receiver and transmitter are controlled by the press-to-talk switch on the
microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated, release switch
to receive. When transmitting, hold the microphone two inches from the
mouth and speak clearly in a normal "voice". The radios come complete with
low-impedance (500 ohm) dynamic microphone. For installation instructions
on other microphones, see next section, "ALTERNATE MICROPHONES
AND INSTALLATION".

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE

1. Be sure that power source, microphone and antenna are connected to the
proper connectors before going to the next step.
2. Turn unit on by tuning VOL control clockwise on your transceiver.
3. Set the VOLUME for a comfortable listening level.
4. Set the MODE switch to the desire mode.
5. Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the SQUELCH
control slowly clockwise until the noise JUST disappears (no signal
should be present). Leave the control at this setting. The SQUELCH is
now properly adjusted. The receive will remain quiet until a signal is
actually received. Do not advance the control too far, or some of the
weaker signals will not be heard.
6. Set CHANNEL selector switch to the desired channel.
7. Set the RF gain control fully clockwise for maximum RF gain.
8. Adjust CLARIFIER control to clarify the SSB signals or to optimize
AM/FM signals.

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO TRANSMIT

1. Select the desired channel of transmission.
2. Set the MIC GAIN control fully clockwise.
3. If the channel is clear, depress the push-to-talk switch on the microphone
and speak in a normal voice.
