IMER
(TOT)
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent you from
using a channel for an extended period of time. This function
is useful, for example, when you accidentally keep the
PTT
switch pressed. Additionally, by limiting the amount of time
you can continuously transmit, this feature helps you save on
battery power consumption.
If you continuously transmit for 60 seconds (default), the
transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound.
To stop the tone, release the
PTT
switch. You can press the
PTT
switch again to resume transmitting.

ARNING
Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to be
recharged or replaced.
While operating the transceiver, if the battery power becomes
low, an alert tone will sound every 30 seconds and the LED
indicator will blink red. Replace or recharge the battery pack
at this time.

NNUNCIATION
When changing the channel, the transceiver will announce the
selected channel number after you stop changing the
channel. Likewise, the transceiver will announce the current
channel after you turn the transceiver power ON. (Channel
Annunciation can be activated or deactivated by your dealer.)
