This is the sign of a low or dead battery. It takes more energy to transmit than to receive. So pressing the PTT to transmit will generally shut the radio off when you have a low, bad or poorly charged battery.
Clean the battery contacts on the battery, radio and charger with a pencil eraser and try charging once again. Be certain your radio is turned off during charging. Sometimes it will take 2-3 attempts to charge battery which has gotten too low. Exposure to cold conditions in shipping can sometime cause this too.
If these solutions do not solve the problem, try charging the battery in another radio to see if the charge capability of this radio is compromised.
If none of these solutions solve your problem try getting the battery replaced under warranty at the point of purchase. It will have a 6 month or 1 year warranty.
If the battery was not new, replace it.
Best regards.

Hi,
If indeed radio #1 has a mic problem, this may be confirmed by trying an external speaker/microphone plugged into the accessory jack. If still a no, then its not the mic but possibly the modulator circuitry. If there is transmit audio with the external mic and hence internal mic is defective, the unit would have to be pried open and the defective component replaced. The internal mic is normally an electrofet 2-3 terminal soldered to a shielded wire and physically attached to the front plate.
Alternately, another possibility is that radio #2 has its Interference Eliminator Code enabled/activated. This is indicated by the presence of small sized digits on the top right of display. If this is the case and no similar digits are displayed in radio #1, then radio #2 will not allow any received transmission to be heard. Along the same line of reasoning, if the code is activated on both radios signified by the presence of the 2 small digits, and radio #1 has a problem with its CTCSS (code) generator, then it would also prevent reception of radio #2. A way to verify this is by deactivating/disabling the Interference Eliminator Codes on both radios.
On certain occasion, it is also possible that radio #2 has a defective speaker. You should be able to verify this by plugging in an external speaker to the accessory jack of radio #2.
Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned out or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.

A beep when pressing the PTT button could be a low or bad battery indicator. It takes more energy to transmit than to rest idly or receive. Try a known good battery in the radio and see if it corrects the problem.
If the battery is not the issue, then you may have a programming problem. Typically radios with a blank or unprogrammed channel will beep when placed on that channel. Try programming the radio to a different channel and see if the beep still occurs. If the beep occurs on many program settings you may have a deeper issue.
Best regards.
