7.4.1 TRANSMIT POWER

The TX output power of the HX210 is set to high level (6 W*) in factory de-
fault, and the "HI" indicator is displayed on the top part of the screen.
To change the TX output power:
1. Press one of the soft keys.
2. Press the [◄]/[►] key repeatedly, until [HI],
[MD], or [LO] is displayed above a soft key
at the bottom of the LCD.
3. Press the [HI], [MD], or [LO] soft key to
switch between HI (6 W), MD (2.5 W), or LO
(1 W) output power.

7.4.2 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. Before transmitting again, the PTT
switch must first be released, then wait 10 seconds and then pressed again.
This Time-Out-Timer (TOT) prevents a continuous transmission that would
result from an accidentally stuck PTT switch.
When the HX210 comes in contact with water a white light will blink to
assist retrieving it in low light conditions. The light will automatically turn
off in about 15 seconds when it is removed from water.
The HX210 has a menu selection to enable and disable. Refer to SETUP
Mode Item "STROBE LED (Water Hazard)" on page 33 for details.
