Transmit Time-Out Timer; Programmable Function (Pf) Keys; Key Lock - Vertex Standard EVX-5300 Operating Manual

Transmit Time-Out Timer

If the selected channel has been programmed for automatic time-out, you must
limit the length of each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound 10 sec-
onds before time-out. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the red " TX "
indicator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume
transmitting, you must release the PTT switch and wait for the "penalty timer" to
expire (if you press the PTT switch before this timer expires, the timer restarts,
and you will have to wait another "penalty" period).

Key Lock

In order to prevent accidental operating function/feature change or inadvertent
transmission, various aspects of the front panel's keys may be locked out.
To activate the Locking feature, press and hold in the [ P1 ] key while turning the
radio on. To disable the Locking feature, repeat this power-on procedure.

Programmable Function (PF) Keys

The EVX-5300 Series includes six Programmable Function ( PF ) keys. These PF
keys can be customized, via programming by your Vertex Standard dealer, to meet
your communications/network requirements.
The possible PF key programming features are illustrated on the next page, and
these functions are explained beginning after page 8. For further details, contact
your Vertex Standard dealer.
In this chapter, the following icons are used to indicate features supported in either
the "Analog" mode or "Digital" mode:
: Indicates a "Analog" mode only feature.
: Indicates a "Digital" mode only feature.
For features that are available in both "Analog" and "Digital" modes, no icon is
shown.
For future reference, check the box next to each function that has been assigned to
the PF key on your particular radio, and keep it handy.
