TRANSMITTING

and speak in a normal tone of voice. Speaking too
close to the microphone, or too loudly, may increase
distortion and reduce intelligibility of your signal at the
receiving station.

Note: When transmitting, you may want to use the Mute function to
mute the receive audio from the band on which you are not
transmitting. Refer to MUTE on page 74 for details.
SELECTING OUTPUT POWER
It's wise, and required by law, to select the lowest
power that allows reliable communication. If operating
from battery power, lower transmit power will give you
more operating time before a charge is necessary.
Reducing power lowers the risk of interfering with
others on the band too. It is possible to change output
power while transmitting.
1 Press [BAND SEL] to select your desired band.
2 Press [LOW] to select the transmit power you
require.
+ Each press of [LOW] changes the power as
shown below. The default is High (no indicator
visible).
This procedure selects the transmit power on the
Transmit band. Press [CONT SEL] in Step 1 if you
want to select a different power on the Control band.
