T - T (TOT)
IME OUT IMER
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel
for an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of time
that exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an
alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch.
Your dealer can program a warning function to alert you before the TOT expires.
Continuously transmitting for the time specified by your dealer will cause this
warning tone to sound, allowing you to finish your transmission before the TOT
expires.
B C L
USY HANNEL OCKOUT
The Busy Channel Lockout feature is activated or deactivated by your dealer.
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other parties who may
be using the same channel that you selected. Pressing the PTT switch while the
channel is in use will cause your transceiver to emit an alert tone and
transmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT switch to
stop the tone and return to receive mode.
T A
ALK ROUND
You may occasionally experience an interruption in service (due to a power
failure, etc.). During such an occurence, you can continue communication by
using the Talk Around feature, if it has been programmed by your dealer.
Talk Around allows you to communicate directly with other transceivers, without
the use of a repeater. However, if the station you want to contact is too far away,
or there are geographical obstacles in the way, you may not be able to contact
the station.
Toggle Talk Around ON and OFF by pressing the key programmed as
Talk Around.
• The TA icon appears on the display while the Talk Around function is ON.
• When using Talk Around, the receive frequency is used for both transmission
and reception, and the decode signalling is used for both encoding and
decoding.
