Time-Out Timer Table (sec)
Direct Mode
This field is visible only if the Car Radio Mute field is set to Enabled. Use
the UP/DOWN arrow keys or directly enter a value for the Car Radio
Mute Timer. When this feature is enabled, the car radio/cassette
remains muted after a voice transmit or receive is completed for the
period of time specified in this field in order to avoid unmuting in the
middle of a conversation.Valid values range from 1 to 60 seconds in
one-second increments.
The default is 10 seconds.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This feature is planned for a future RSS
release. As of the date of this release, specifying a value for the
Car Radio Mute Timer will have no effect whatsoever on the
operation of the radio.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys select the four Time-Out Timer (TOT)
values available to each personality. Each Conventional or Trunking
personality may reference one of the four values that are defined on
this screen. TOT values range from 15 to 465 seconds in 15-second
increments. A value of Infinite is also available.
If the radio is transmitting and the TOT time expires, the radio is
automatically de-keyed and a continuous alert tone is generated as
long as the PTT button is pressed. To continue transmitting, the PTT
button must be released and the radio re-keyed.
The default values are Infinite, 30, 60 and 120 seconds respectively.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the settings of Direct Mode.
Operator Selectable - Setting this field to Operator Selectable will allow
radio users to program any buttons set to DM (Direct Mode) to the
currently selected mode via a long press of the button. Once the
button is programmed with a mode, a short press of the button will
switch the radio to the programmed mode.

change to the mode these buttons were previously programmed to.

different mode. These buttons will NOT be end-user programmable.

reprogram any buttons set to DM (Direct Mode). Before setting this
field to Fixed, be sure to follow the steps below.
