Regardless of the Voice Announcement configuration, the LED indicator blinks to indicate the current channel number. For example, to indicate the channel number 5, the LED blinks blue once and a voice announces "Five" when Voice Announcement is enable, and the LED blinks blue once and a Channel Select Tone sounds once when Voice Announcement is disable. • Press the PF-2 key to switch between Volume Adjustment mode and Channel Select mode. 2 To make a call, press and hold the PTT switch, then speak into the microphone using your normal speaking voice. • Hold the microphone approximately 1.5 inches (3 to 4 cm) from your mouth. 3 Release the PTT switch to receive. Note: ◆ When the battery pack voltage becomes too low, transmission will stop and an alert tone will sound. (Low Battery Warning: While operating the transceiver, the Low Battery Warning sounds an alert tone every 30 seconds and the LED indicator blinks red when the battery needs recharged or replaced.) ◆ Even when setting the volume to 0, the transceiver will continue to emit beep sounds and channel announcements. ◆ Continuously transmitting when the transceiver becomes too hot will cause the output power to decrease and may eventually stop transmission. Stop transmitting for a while to allow the transceiver to cool down. 10
