TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)

It is sometimes necessary or desirable to restrict a single
transmission to a specific maximum time. This feature can
be useful when accessing repeaters to prevent repeater
time-outs, or when trying to conserve battery power.
When TOT times out, the transceiver generates beeps and
automatically returns to receive mode. To resume
transmitting, release and then press Mic [PTT] again.
You can change the default TOT time (10 minutes).
1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode.
2 Select Menu No. 11 (TOT).
CALL CALL
3 Press [SET] to select the desired TOT time from 3, 5,
and 10 (default) minutes.
4 Press [MNU] again to exit Menu mode.

AUTOMATIC POWER OFF (APO)

Automatic Power Off is a background function that monitors
whether any buttons or keys have been pressed, or whether
the Tuning control has been turned. After 3 hours pass
with no operations, APO turns OFF the power. However,
1 minute before the power turns OFF, "APO" appears and
blinks, and a series of warning tones sound.
Note: If the squelch opens or any settings are changed during the 3 hour
period while APO is ON, the timer resets. When the squelch closes or
you stop changing the settings, the timer begins counting again from 0.
