mitted signal, pause a moment after pushing [PTT], hold
the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from your mouth
and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.
NOTE: The transceiver has a power save function to con-
serve the battery power. The power save function activates
automatically when no signal is received for 5 sec.
For U.S.A version: To prevent accidental prolonged trans-
mission, etc., the IC-GM1600 has a time-out-timer func-
tion. The timer cuts a transmission OFF after 5 min. of con-
tinuous transmission.
