Note: ◆ If you press [PTT] while the VOX function is ON, the VOX Delay Time is not reflected to the transmitted signal. ◆ If you press [PF] (if 1750 Hz is programmed) to transmit a 1750 Hz tone, the VOX Delay Time is not reflected. ◆ If the DCS function is ON, the transceiver remains in Transmit mode for the duration set by the VOX Delay Time. It then sends a Turn-Off Code to close the receiving party's squelch. TIME-OUT TIMER The Time-out Timer limits the duration you transmit. Just before the transceiver stops the transmitting, a warning beep sounds. This function is necessary to protect the transceiver from thermal damage and can therefore not be turned OFF. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu No. 19 (TOT), then press [F]. 2 Rotate the ENC control to select the desired time from 0.5/ 1.0/ 1.5/ 2.0/ 2.5/ 3.0/ 3.5/ 4.0/ 4.5/ 5.0/10.0 (default) minutes, then press [F] to store the setting. 3 Press [MENU] or [PTT] to exit Menu mode. Note: A warning beep sounds even if you set Menu No. 2 (BEEP) to OFF. BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT This function is used in order to prevent transmitting on a channel or frequency that somebody else is currently using.
