What is the cautionary step when pressing the PTT button on the Remote Speaker Mic?

When using the PTT (Push-to-Talk) button on the Remote Speaker Mic, it is crucial to wait for approximately half a second before transmitting. This cautionary step is important because it allows the radio system to properly engage and stabilize the communication channel. Pressing the button immediately may lead to incomplete transmission or garbled audio as the system may not be ready to process the voice input, resulting in ineffective communication.

This practice ensures that the audio is clear and that the intended message is transmitted without distortion or interruption. Waiting ensures that the radio is fully operational and ready to send the user's voice clearly to the intended recipient.
