then automatically cut back to approximately 1/3 of normal to limit heat
generation. When the temperature is not longer excessive, power output
automatically returns to normal. This condition may be caused by trans-
mitting for extended periods or operating in a very warm environment.
If the temperature continues rising to the point where serious trans-
ceiver damage could result, “TOO HOT” is displayed, a tone sounds, and
the transmitter is disabled. The PTT switch must then be released and
temperature drop to the excessive range or lower to transmit again.
Low Voltage Conditions
If the voltage applied to the transceiver decreases to the point where
improper operation could result, “LO VOLT” is displayed on the bottom
line, a tone sounds, and the transmitter is disabled. This condition is
usually caused by a discharged vehicle battery. To clear this condition,
operate the vehicle to charge the battery or transmit with the vehicle
running.
