ADVANCED OPERATIONS
TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The Time-out Timer prevents any single 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 the
warning tone to sound.
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)
The Busy Channel Lockout feature can be 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.
If BCL Override is also activated, you can override the BCL and transmit on a
channel already in use. To override the BCL, release the PTT switch when the
alert tone sounds, then press the PTT switch again within 0.5 seconds.
TALK AROUND
You may occasionally experience an interruption in service (due to a power
failure, etc.). During such an occurrence, 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.
•“TA” appears on the display when Talk Around is ON.
