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 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 PTT switch before the timer
has been reset, an alert tone will sound and the transceiver will not enter transmit
mode.
