time if the microphone

switch is accidentally locked in the “TX” condition. The Time-Out
Timer “switch-to-receive” time may be adjusted from 1 to 30 minutes, or Off via Menu Item.
1. Press and hold the [
VOL/SEL
] key for one second to activate the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Menu Item “

”.

knob to select the desired interval. Available selections are 1 to 30
minutes, or Off.
5. Press [
VOL/SEL
] key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
When your transmission time is within 10 seconds of the Time-Out Timer expiration, an
alert bell will provide an audible warning from the speaker.
