The Time-out Timer is used to prevent any caller from using a
channel for an extended period of time.
If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds
the programmed time (default = 60 seconds), the transceiver
will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound. To stop the
tone, release the
PTT switch.
If programmed by your dealer, a pre-alert tone will sound
before the timer expires. Also, if programmed by your dealer,
you may have to wait for a short duration before you can
continue to transmit. If you press the
PTT switch before the
timer has been reset, an alert tone will sound and the
transceiver will not enter transmit mode.

The Battery Save function decreases the amount of power
used when a signal is not being received and no operations
are being performed (no keys are being pressed and no
switches are being turned).
While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed
for 10 seconds, Battery Save activates. When a signal is
received or an operation is performed, Battery Save is
disabled.
