Time-Out Timer 

The transmit time-out timer limits the duration of calls and guards against 
accidentally locking on the transmitter and tying up the radio system. 
Your dealer can program the duration of the time-out timer (15-225 
seconds, or disabled). 

Busy Channel 

If the radio has been programmed for busy channel operation, it will 
operate in one of the following three modes: 

Busy Channel Indication 

Busy Channel Lockout 

Busy Channel Lockout Override 

Busy Channel Indication 

The yellow Busy Channel indicator illuminates if there is carrier activity 
on the selected channel. If the selected channel is a Code Guard 
channel and the proper Code Guard value is not detected, the Busy 
Channel indicator remains on for the duration of the carrier activity and 
no message is heard. During Scan and Priority Scan operation, the Busy 
Channel indicator illuminates when activity is detected on any channel on 
the scan list. 

When scanning or priority scanning Code Guard channels and activity 
has been detected, the Busy Channel indicator illuminates for the time 
period necessary to determine if the proper Code Guard value has been 
received, causing the Busy Channel indicator to flash at various rates. 

Busy Channel Lockout 

The busy channel lockout feature applies only to those channels 
programmed for receive Code Guard operation. When carrier activity is 
detected on the channel selected, the radio checks the receive Code 
Guard value. If the proper Code Guard value is present, the radio can 
transmit on that channel. 

If the radio detects an incorrect value or carrier activity only, the 
transmitter is disabled, an alert tone is heard, and the display shows the 
word BUSY when the PTT switch is pressed, whether the CG button is 
on or off. 

Channels not programmed for receive Code Guard operation can be 
used to transmit regardless of carrier activity.
