Automatic Power-Off (Apo) - Yaesu FT-450 Operation Manual

The "Automatic Power-Off" (APO) feature will turn the radio completely off after a user-defined period of PTT or
key/button inactivity. If you do not press any front panel keys or buttons, rotate the [MAIN DIAL] knob, use the
microphone's keys and buttons, or transmit, and so long as the transceiver is not scanning or engaged in priority
monitoring, the radio will shut itself off after the specified time period. The available selections for the time before
power-off are 1 - 12 hours (1 hour step), as well as APO Off. This feature is useful in minimizing battery drain in
a mobile installation if you forget to turn the transceiver off.
