Your First Rf Transmission - Silvercrest PMR-1200 User Manual And Service Information

Getting Started

5.3 Your First RF Transmission

In order for other people to be able to listen to your messages, both PMR sets must be set
to the same channel and to the same CTCSS/CDCSS code (see pages 16 and 17). After
powering on the transceivers for the first time, Channel 1 and CTCSS code 1 are preset by
default.
•
If 2 or more stations press the PTT button (13) simultaneously, the receiver
will receive the strongest signal only or both signals will mix and interference
will occur. Therefore you should press the PTT button (13) only whenever
the channel is free.
•
Always pay attention to the maximum range.
•
Hold the PMR vertically and keep the microphone approx. 10cm (4-inch)
from your mouth.
•
The maximum transmission time is 1 minute. For longer messages you may
have to release the PTT button (13) and press it again to continue talking.
