Background Operations - Kenwood TK-3401D Instruction Manual

TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The Time-out Timer prevent callers from using a channel for
an extended duration. If you continuously transmit for the
duration programmed by your dealer (default is 60 seconds),
transmission will stop and an alert tone will sound. To stop the
tone, release the PTT switch.
BATTERY SAVER
When activated by your dealer, the Battery Saver function
decreases the amount of power used after no signal is present
and no operations are being performed for 5 seconds. When a
signal is received or an operation is performed, Battery Saver
turns off.
Note:
◆ Battery Saver is disabled during a call on digital mode.
◆ While the Battery Saver is operating, the LED may flash green
when receiving a QT/DQT signal which does not match the QT/
DQT tone/code set up in your transceiver.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
While operating the transceiver, the Low Battery Warning
sounds an alert tone every 30 seconds and the LED indicator
blinks red when the battery needs recharged or replaced.
CHANNEL ANNUNCIATION
When changing the channel, the transceiver will announce the
newly selected channel number. Likewise, the transceiver will
announce the current channel after you turn the transceiver
power ON. (Channel Annunciation can be activated or
deactivated by your dealer.)
