TRANSCEIVER FUNCTIONS ■ Time-out Timer (TOT) The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any single person from using a channel for an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for 3 minutes, 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. • Battery Save The Battery Save function decreases the amount of power used when a signal is not being received and no operations are being performed (no keys are being pressed, and no switches are being turned). While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed for 10 seconds, Battery Save is enabled. When a signal is received or an operation is performed, Battery Save is disabled. ■ Low Battery Warning Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to be recharged. While transmitting, if the battery power goes below a pre-determined value, the LED will blink red. When a tone sounds, the transceiver stops transmitting. Replace or recharge the battery pack. 15
