6.3.1 TRANSMIT TIME - OUT TIMER ( TOT )
While the PTT switch is held down, transmission time is limited to 5 minutes.
This prevents prolonged (unintentional) transmissions. About 10 seconds be-
fore automatic transmitter shutdown, a warning beep will sound from the
speaker. The transceiver automatically switches to the receiving mode, even if
the PTT switch is held down. Before transmitting again, the PTT switch must
first be released, then wait 10 seconds and then pressed again. This Time-
Out-Timer (TOT) prevents a continuous transmission that would result from an
accidentally stuck PTT switch.
The PTT switch is ignored for 10 seconds after the transceiver auto-
matically switches to the receiving mode by the TOT feature.
