The Time-out Timer prevents you from using a channel for a
extended durations. This function is useful, for example, when
you accidentally keep the
PTT
switch pressed. Additionally, by
limiting the amount of time you can continuously transmit, this
feature helps you save on battery power consumption.
If you continuously transmit for 3 minutes (default value), the
transceiver will stop transmitting and a tone will sound. To
stop the tone, release the
PTT
switch. You can press the
PTT
switch again to resume transmitting.
To change the default value of 3 minutes:
With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the
MENU
key while turning the transceiver power ON (for 1 second).
Press the
or
key to select “to”.
Press the
MENU
key then press
or
to select “to- 3”
(3 minutes) or “to-10” (10 minutes).
Press the
MENU
key to confirm the selection.
Press the
PTT
,
MON
, or
CAL
key to exit Setting Mode.
This transceiver is also equipped with a pre-alert tone which
sounds 10 seconds before the Time-out Timer expires.
This will allow you time to finish your message before the
transceiver automatically stops transmitting.
