1 DMR CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM
1.1 Initiating Voice Communications (Basic Transmission and Reception)
Restricting the Continuous Transmission Duration (Time-out Timer)
Time-out Timer (TOT) is the function to restrict the duration for the transceiver to continuously transmit.
This function is used to prevent a user from occupying a repeater or frequency which is shared with other users. The
transceiver automatically stops transmitting and releases the channel if it continuously transmits longer than the configured
time.
Time-out Timer can be configured for each system. Also, timers, such as TOT Pre-alert, TOT Rekey Time, and TOT Reset
Time, relevant to Time-out Timer can be configured.
TOT Pre-alert
TOT Pre-alert is the function to notify a user that a continuous transmission is about to end by the Time-out Timer. A TOT
Pre-alert Tone (3 beeps) sounds from the transceiver before the transceiver stops the continuous transmission by the Time-
out Timer.
Example: Time-out Timer: 30 sec, TOT Pre-alert: 4 sec
Note
If "Off" is configured for TOT Pre-alert, no TOT Pre-alert tone sounds from the transceiver.
TOT Rekey Time
TOT Rekey Time is the amount of time from when the transceiver stops the transmission by the Time-out Timer until
transmission becomes possible again.
Example: Time-out Timer: 30 sec, TOT Rekey Time: 20 sec
Note
If "Off" is configured for TOT Rekey Time, the transceiver will immediately be ready to transmit.
0
The timer will be reset if the zone or channel is changed while the TOT Rekey Time is counting down.
