The “Time-Out Timer” (TOT) feature is designed to force the transceiver into the “re-
ceive” mode after a preset time period of continuous transmission (the default is 6 min-
utes). This feature prevents your transceiver from transmitting a “dead carrier” for a long
period of time in the event that the microphone
PTT
switch is accidentally locked in the
“TX” condition.
The Time-Out Timer’s “switch-to-receive” time may be adjusted, in one minute incre-
ments, for any period between 1 and 60 minutes.
To change the default (6 minute) time setting as follows:
(1) Press and hold in the [
MHz
] key for one second, then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to
select “
32 TOT
.”
(2) Press the [
MHz
] key, then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to select the desired time interval
(between
1
and
60
minutes, or
OFF
).
(3) Press and hold in the [
MHz
] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation.

The “Automatic Power-Off” (APO) feature will turn the radio completely
off
after a user-
defined period of
PTT
or key/button inactivity. If you do not press any front panel keys or
buttons, rotate the
Main Dial
knob, use the microphone’s keys and buttons, or transmit,
and so long as the transceiver is not scanning or engaged in priority monitoring, the radio
will shut itself off after the specified time period. This feature is useful in minimizing
battery drain in a mobile installation if you forget to turn the transceiver off when you leave
your vehicle.
To activate the APO feature as follows:
(1) Press and hold in the [
MHz
] key for one second, then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to
select “
02 APO
.”
(2) Press the [
MHz
] key, then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to select the desired “switch-off”
time (between
1
and
12
hours, or
OFF
).
(3) Press and hold in the [
MHz
] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation.
