Page 19: Time-Out Timer (Tot)
Time-Out Timer (TOT) The purpose of the time-out timer is to automatically interrupt continuous transmissions after a specified time elapses. Holding down [PTT] for longer than the programmed time causes the transceiver to stop transmitting and generate a warning tone. Releasing [PTT] cancels the warning tone. -
Page 20: Battery Voltage Level
Battery Voltage Level While holding down [PTT], the battery voltage level is checked. When the voltage level drops to the predetermined value, the LED flashes red. When the voltage level drops further, the transceiver stops transmitting and generates an alarm. If this occurs, recharge the battery pack. -
