Making A Call; Transmitting After Timing Out - Tait orca 5000 Series User Manual

Making a Call

To make a call:
1 Select the desired channel as described in 'Selecting
Channels and Channel Banks' on page 26.
2 Hold down the PTT key, once the channel is free,
and speak clearly into the radio.
3 Identify yourself and the party you are calling using
the call signs you have been assigned.
4 Release the PTT key when you have finished
talking.
Note: If you try to transmit when the radio is
busy, a low-pitched warning beep will sound.
You may not be able to hear the activity, but
the LED glows green. You can activate the
monitor function to listen to channel activity.
See 'Checking That a Channel Is Clear
(Monitor)' on page 35.

Transmitting after Timing Out

Your radio is programmed with a transmit timer that
limits the amount of time you can transmit continu-
ously.
If the radio gives three medium-pitched beeps, the
transmit timer is about to expire. Ten seconds later, the
radio automatically stops transmitting.
To transmit again, release, then press and hold the PTT
key.
Note: The radio may also have been
programmed to prevent transmission for a
period after the transmit timer has expired.
