BACKGROUND OPERATIONS

T - T
IME OUT IMER
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is 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 set by your dealer (default is 1 minute),
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.
B C
USY HANNEL
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other
parties who may be using the same channel that you selected.
Pressing the PTT switch while the channel is in use will cause
your transceiver to emit an alert tone and transmission will be
inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT switch to stop
the tone and return to receive mode.
If activated, you can override this function. To override BCL,
press the PTT switch again immediately after releasing it (within
half a second).
Note: Ask your dealer for an explanation on how BCL functions
when using QT, DQT, DTMF, 5-tone, or FleetSync signaling.
B S
ATTERY AVER
If activated by your dealer, the Battery Saver function will
decrease the amount of power used when a signal is not being
received and no operations are being performed (no keys are
being pressed, and no switches are being turned).
While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed for
5 seconds, Battery Saver turns ON. When a signal is received
or an operation is performed, Battery Saver turns OFF.
