Choose Smart. A tap latches the mic on. A hold works as push-to-talk, ending when you release.

Turn on Duck Music While Announcing. Its slider sets how loud background sounds stay while the mic is live. Lower the level for quieter background sounds.

Return to the main screen. The mic button starts in the Mic off state.

Tap the mic button. No speaker or PA is connected here, so SportsDJ warns about feedback. At the field, connect your speaker first.

For a short announcement in Smart mode, hold the mic button while you speak, then release to turn it off.
