Recommendations for specific uses

The section that follows, provides a few useful suggestions on how to
achieve maximum performance from your BTCity unit.
Using a PMR446 transceiver
To be able to use the transceiver, it is necessary to purchase a specific
cable (sold separately) in order to connect the radio to your Midland
BTCity:
› Some manufacturers radios use a different pin configuration, so
we recommend that you ask your dealer as to which cable is best
suited to your needs
To communicate via the attached radio, press the transmission Press
Top Talk (PTT) button to speak and release it to listen. It is not possible
to talk and listen simultaneously. The cable connected to the transcei-
ver has a PTT button that can be placed on the handlebar of your bike
or held in your hand (If you are the pillion rider).
Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remembering that
the volume adjustment is controlled by the automatic AGC system
and that it will therefore be automatically increased in relation to
background noise.
If you wish to use a PMR446 transceiver for group communications
and simultaneously maintain the Intercom feature enabled between
two BTCity devices, you must remember that the Intercom feature is
enabled every time you speak by means of the BTCity's VOX feature.
Consequently, radio communications will be disabled whilst you are
talking with somebody, because they have a lower priority compared
to Intercom communications.
This can be prevented by enabling the "Wired connection always
on" or "Disabling the VOX feature" (both explained in the previous
section).
Disable the VOX feature, as explained in the previous section, to make
sure that the intercom will not automatically be activated when you
speak on the PMR446. To enable the Intercom feature when using this
configuration, you will have to press "Control" button manually.
