1. Press the Zone option switch and the alias (name) of
the current zone is indicated on the upper line of the
display.
2. Rotate the Select switch to display the desired zone.
Then to select that zone and exit this mode, press the
Select switch or wait 4 seconds.
2.3.6 HOME ZONE
The radio can be programmed with a home zone.
Then when power is turned on, the radio can be
programmed so that either the home zone or last
selected zone is automatically selected.
If the Home Zone option switch is programmed,
it can be used to quickly select or change the home
zone. To select the home zone, simply press this
switch. Then to change the home zone to the currently
selected zone, press and hold this switch until a tone
sounds (approximately 1 second).
2.3.7 TIME-OUT TIMER
The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is
keyed for longer than the programmed time. It can be
programmed on each channel for times from 15
seconds up to 3 minutes, 45 seconds or disabled (not
used). If the transmitter is keyed continuously for
longer than the programmed time, the transmitter is
disabled and an invalid condition tone sounds. Five
seconds before time-out occurs, an alert tone sounds to
indicate that time-out is approaching. The timer and
tone are reset by releasing the PTT switch.
One use of this feature is to prevent a channel
from being kept busy for an extended period by an
accidentally keyed transmitter. It can also prevent
possible transmitter damage caused by transmitting for
an excessively long period. Conventional channels can
also be programmed with the Penalty and Conversa-
tion timers that are described in Sections 2.4.7 and
2.4.8.
2.3.8 TONE ENABLE/DISABLE
The supervisory tones (see Section 2.6) can be
enabled and disabled by the Tones On-Off option
switch if it is programmed. When tones are enabled by
this switch, “TONE ON” is momentarily displayed on
the lower line and a tone sounds. Conversely, when
tones are disabled, “TONE OFF” is displayed and no
tone sounds. If the Tones On-Off option switch is not
programmed, tones are fixed in the on or off mode by
programming.
2.3.9 POWER TURN-OFF DELAY
The transceiver can be installed so that the
vehicle ignition switch as well as the front-panel
power switch controls transceiver power. This is done
by connecting the accessory ignition switch wire to a
power source switched by the ignition switch. Power
off delays of 0-254 minutes or Forever can then be
programmed. This delay can be overridden at any time
by turning power off using the front-panel power
switch or turning the ignition switch back on.
