Using the microphone

The microphone is located at the bottom of your handset, just like a telephone handset.

If PTT is held continuously for a certain length of time, the system stops transmission,
switches to receive and displays an error message on the front panel. This ensures that,
even if the PTT button is being held down accidentally (because, for example, you are
sitting on the handset), power consumption is minimised and the transceiver is ready to
receive calls.
You can set the length of time the system waits before it cuts transmission, or switch this
feature off, by using the PTT Cutout Time entry in the Control List (see
