BACKGROUND OPERATIONS
Your dealer can activate a variety of transceiver functions to
perform without any additional operation on your part.
TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The Time-out Timer is used to prevent you from using a
channel for an extended duration. If you continuously transmit
for a preset time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an
alert tone will sound. Release the PTT switch.
BATTERY SAVER
The Battery Saver decreases the amount of power used when
a signal is not being received and no operations are being
performed.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to be
recharged. Your dealer can set an alert tone to sound and
the LED indicator to blink red when the battery power is low.
Recharge or replace the battery pack at this time.
PTT ID
PTT ID is the transceiver unique ID code which is sent each
time the PTT switch is pressed and/or released.
COMPANDER
If programmed by your dealer for a channel, the compander
will remove excessive noise from transmitted signals, to
provide higher clarity of signals.
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)
If BCL is set up by your dealer, you will be unable to transmit if
the channel is already in use. Use a different channel or wait
until the channel becomes free.
