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 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 microphone PTT switch. Your dealer can program the TOT
time in the range of 15 seconds to 20 minutes.
If programmed by your dealer, a pre-alert tone will sound before the timer
expires. Also, if programmed by your dealer, you may have to wait for a short
duration before you can continue to transmit. If you press the microphone PTT
switch before the timer has been reset, an alert tone will sound and the
transceiver will not enter transmit mode.
COMPANDER
The compander is programmed only for specific (analog) channels. If it has
been programmed by your dealer, transmitted signals are compressed before
being sent and received signals are expanded when they arrive.
•Your dealer must set the compander for both the transmit side and the receive side in
order for the compander to operate.
This background feature allows higher clarity of signals, avoiding excessive
noise and interference. This feature is not used on digital channels, as they are
not susceptible to noise and interference.
PTT ID
PTT ID is a unique transceiver ID code which is sent each time the microphone
PTT switch is pressed.
Note: PTT ID can be made only in FM Operation.
If Beginning of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press the
microphone PTT switch.
If End of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you release the
microphone PTT switch.
If both are set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press and release the
microphone PTT switch.
