Background Operations - Kenwood NEXEDGE NX-248 Instruction Manual

TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The Time-out Timer prevents callers from using a channel
for an extended duration. If you continuously transmit for the
duration programmed by your dealer (default is 1 minute),
transmission will stop and a warning tone will sound. To stop
the tone, release the PTT switch.
BATTERY SAVER
When activated by your dealer, the Battery Saver function
decreases the amount of power used after no signal is present
and no operations are being performed for 5 seconds. When a
signal is received or an operation is performed, Battery Saver
turns off.
Note:
◆ While the Battery Saver is operating, the LED may fl ash green
when receiving a QT/DQT signal which does not match the QT/
DQT tone/code set up in your transceiver.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
While operating the transceiver, the Low Battery Warning
sounds until the PTT switch is released and the LED indicator
blinks red when the battery needs recharged or replaced.
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering on a
channel that is already in use. Pressing the PTT switch will
cause an alert tone to sound and the transceiver will not
transmit. Release the PTT switch to stop the tone.
Note:
◆ Ask your dealer for an explanation on how BCL functions when
using QT, DQT, RAN, or Optional signaling.
