TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The Time-out Timer can be activated only on Conventional channels and in NXDN
Trunking system. It is used 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,
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.
If programmed by your dealer, a pre-alert tone will sound before the timer expires.
Also, if programmed by your dealer, you may have to wait for a short duration before
you can continue to transmit. If you press the PTT switch before the timer has been
reset, an alert tone will sound and the transceiver will not enter transmit mode.
BATTERY SAVER
The Battery Saver function can be activated only on Conventional channels. When
activated, this function decreases 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 activates. When a signal is received or an operation is performed, Battery
Saver is disabled.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to be recharged.
Your dealer can set an alert tone to sound and the LED indicator to blink red when
the battery power is low. The battery power indicator displays the battery power
remaining, as illustrated below.
High
Sufficient
Low

When the battery power is very low, recharge or replace the battery pack.
