Note: If a headset is connected to the transceiver while the VOX

function is switched ON and the VOX Gain level is configured to a

higher, more sensitive level, louder received signals may cause the

transceiver to start transmission.

BACKGROUND OPERATIONS

TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)

The Time-out Timer prevents callers from using a channel

for an extended duration. If you continuously transmit for the

duration programmed by your dealer (default is 1 minute),

transmission will stop and an alert tone will sound. To stop the

tone, release the PTT switch.

BATTERY SAVER

When activated by your dealer, the Battery Saver function

decreases the amount of power used after no signal is present

and no operations are being performed for 5 seconds. When a

signal is received or an operation is performed, Battery Saver

turns off.

Note: While the Battery Saver is operating, the LED may flash

green when receiving a QT/DQT signal which does not match the

QT/DQT tone/code set up in your transceiver.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

While operating the transceiver, the Low Battery Warning

sounds an alert tone every 30 seconds and the LED indicator

blinks red when the battery needs recharged or replaced.

BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)

When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering on a

channel that is already in use. Pressing the PTT switch will

cause an alert tone to sound and the transceiver will not

transmit. Release the PTT switch to stop the tone.

Note: Ask your dealer for an explanation on how BCL functions

when using QT or DQT signaling.

QT/ DQT SIGNALING

QT/ DQT is used to segregate talk groups, so users only hear

calls from their own group.
