Repeater mode operation (USA version only)

When you receive an FM (or FM-N) signal in the Re-
peater mode on one band, the transceiver automati-
cally retransmits them on the other band. This is called

applicable laws and ordinances.

Transmission is automatically cancelled according to
the "Hang Up Time" item setting.
When the "Hang Up Time" item is set to OFF, the trans-
ceiver cancels the transmission when the receive sig-
nal disappears.
When the "Hang Up Time" item is set to ON, the trans-
ceiver cancels the transmission approximately 0.25
seconds after the receive signal disappears.
You can set the "Hang Up Time" item in the Menu
screen. (p. 12-67)
For your reference:
• In the Repeater mode, the function menu displays
only [MONI].
Touching [MONI] turns the Monitor function ON or
OFF.
When the Monitor function is ON, "BUSY" blinks,
and the squelch opens to receive signals on the
MAIN band.
• When you hold down [PTT] in the Repeater mode,
the signal is transmitted on the MAIN band.
- You cannot use a Bluetooth
NOTE:
• In the Repeater mode, you cannot enter the Clone
mode.
• Even if the transceiver is turned OFF, the Repeater
mode is not canceled.
