8.4.1 TRANSMIT POWER
The TX output power of the

*
) in factory
default, and the “
HI
” indicator is displayed on the top part of the screen.
To change the TX output power:
1. Press the [◄] or [►] key to display the soft keys.
2. Press the [◄] or [►] key repeatedly, until
[
HI
], [
MD
], or [

] is selected above a soft
key at the bottom of the LCD.
3. Press the [
ENT/MENU
] key repeatedly to
switch between HI (6 W (5 W)
*
), MD (2.5 W),
or LO (1 W) output power.
*
: 5W TX required in some countries.
NOTE
: Soft Key displays the next Power Level to be selected when pressed. The
actual TX Power Level is always shown in the icon on the top line of the display.
8.4.2 TRANSMIT TIME - OUT TIMER (TOT)
While the
PTT
switch is held down, transmission time is limited to 5 minutes.
This prevents prolonged (unintentional) transmissions. About 10 seconds
before automatic transmitter shutdown, a warning beep will sound from the
speaker. The transceiver automatically switches to receive mode, even if
the
PTT
switch continues to be held down. The
PTT
switch must first be re
-
leased, then wait 10 seconds before transmission may be started again. This
Time-Out-Timer (TOT) prevents a continuous transmission that would result
from an accidentally stuck
PTT
switch.
