The TOT feature provides a safety switch which limits transmission to a pre-
programmed value. This will promote battery conservation by not allowing you to make
excessively-long transmissions, and in the event of a stuck PTT switch (perhaps if the
radio or a Speaker/Mic is wedged between car seats) it can prevent interference to other
users as well as battery depletion. As configured at the factory the TOT feature is set to
OFF, and here is the procedure for activating it:
1.
Press the [MON/F] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the DIAL to select Menu Item (Save Modes #4: TOT).
3.
Press the [MAIN] or [SUB] key to set the Time-Out Timer to the desired “Maximum
TX” time (1 minute, 2.5 minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes).
4.
Once you’re made the selection you wish to use, press the PTT key to save the new
setting and exit to normal operation.
