When used in conjunction with busy channel lockout, the transmitter is allowed to operate
as long as valid RX tone is received. Dealer programming makes this feature active or
disabled.
TX Delay
The TX will remain active for approximately 180 seconds even though P-T-T button is
released when using CTCSS tones.
This eliminates squelch tail by sending CTCSS turn-off code (No Tone TX).
Time-Out-Timer (TOT)
The purpose of the time-out-timer is to prevent any single person from using a channel
for an extended period. The time-out-time can be programmed from 10 seconds to 990 seconds
by your radio Dealer. When active the TOT icon will show in the display.
Time-Out-Timer Penalty (TX Inhibit)
When TOT is applied, transmission will be inhibited after time-out-time time expires.
This TX inhibit time can be selected and programmed by your Dealer from 1 second to 100
seconds. For instance, when TOT is set to 3 minutes and TOT penalty is set to 5 seconds,
if you continuously transmit for 3 minutes, the radio will stop transmitting. A tone will
sound with each
PTT bar press until the 5-sec. TX inhibit time expires.
Press the P-T-T bar after the TX inhibit time expires to resume transmitting.
Battery Save
The battery save function decreases the amount of power used when a signal is not being
received and no operations are being performed (no bars are being pressed, no controls are
being used, etc.)
When the channel is not busy and no operation is performed, battery save is enabled. When
an operation is performed, or
a signal is received, battery save is disabled.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery power goes below a pre-determined value, the LED will blink red and a
tone sounds. The radio will then allow only one more transmission. After that, the
transceiver will stop transmitting. Replace or recharge the battery pack.
Two-Tone Decode
Each channel can be programmed with two-tone decode by your radio communications Dealer.
Two-tone selections are: Individual Call, Group Call and Super Group Call.
VOX (Voice Operated X-mit)
Allows your radio to PTT with the sound of your voice for hands free operation. Your radio
has VOX sensitivity adjustment for noisy or windy conditions. VOX icon will be displayed
when option is turned on.
