Press and hold the Push-To-Talk (PTT) key to transmit on the selected
channel, then release to receive. The TX indicator appears while transmitting.
The radio is equipped with a timeout timer as per regulatory requirements.
After PTT has been held continuously for 5 minutes, transmission is
discontinued and the radio automatically returns to receive mode. An Error
beep is emitted 10 seconds before the time out is triggered and TX flashes on
the display until PTT is released.

The TX time out timer is reset once the PTT key is released.
Note: If the current channel is a TX-prohibited channel, an alarm sounds
when PTT is pressed, indicating such a transmission is not permitted.
