Limiting call time
Your radio may limit the amount of time you can talk
(transmit) continuously. This is known as the ‘transmit
timer’ or ‘time-out timer’ and allows other radio users
to make calls on that channel.
The radio warns you before the transmit timer expires
by beeping three times. The red status LED flashes
and the message
Transmit timeout imminent
appears in the display.
Checking recent calls
This feature is available for digital channels only and
applies to individual calls and call alert pages only.
Your radio may be able to store a list of the last 20
calls. These calls may be calls that you have received,
calls that you have made, or calls that you have
missed.
To use your recent calls list to make a call:
1 Press Menu and select Recent calls . (Depending
on how your radio is programmed, you may be
able to press a function key or use your Quick
Access menu to select recent calls.)
