Transmitter Time-Out Timer (TOT)

The "Time-Out Timer" (TOT) feature is designed to force the transceiver into the "receive"
mode after a preset time period of continuous transmission (the default is 6 minutes). This
feature prevents your transceiver from transmitting a "dead carrier" for a long period of time
in the event that the microphone PTT switch is accidentally locked in the "TX" condition.
The Time-Out Timer's "switch-to-receive" time may be adjusted, in one minute increments,
for any period between 1 and 30 minutes. To change the default (6 minutes) time setting:
1. Press and hold in the [ BAND ] key for 1/2 second to activate the "Menu" mode.
2. Rotate the Main Dial knob to select Menu # 31 (TOT).
3. Press the [ BAND ] key momentarily to enable changing of this Menu item.
4. Rotate the Main Dial knob to select the desired time interval (between 1 and 6 0
minutes, or "OFF."
5. Press and hold in the [ BAND ] key for 1/2 second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation.
When the TOT feature is activated, "
starts every time you press the PTT switch. About a minute before the selected time-out
period has expired (during transmission), "
pressing the PTT switch until the selected TOT time interval, transmission will case, and
you will hear the alert beeper sound until you release the PTT switch.
