If someone is already speaking on that channel do not transmit. Press again to stop monitoring.1. To talk, press and hold the Push to Talk button and speak into the microphone. To maximize clarity, hold the radio 2 to 3 inches away from your mouth.2. To listen, release the Push to Talk button.

This can help determine when a radio is moving out of range.Note: Obstacles that block the signal path may affect the strength of the incoming signal.MONMONoperation.fm Page 13 Tuesday, August 30, 2005 1:16 PM
