Time-Out-Timer

The TOT feature is popular in repeater systems. It prohibits the users
from transmitting on the repeater after a certain period of time has
elapsed. By setting this function and activating it according to the
repeaters' requirement, the radio alerts the user by a beep 5 seconds
prior to time-out.
When the time is expired, transmitting stops and the transceiver
automatically returns to receiving mode. This avoids the repeater going
into its TOT mode. Until the PTT is released once and pressed again, the
transceiver will not transmit.
