key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

If you wish to disable the Password feature, repeat steps 1 - 3 above, now rotate
the DIAL knob to select "OFF," then press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one
second.
R.F. Says: 1) We recommend that you to write down the password number, and keep it
in a safe place you can easily find if you forget your password.
2) If you forget the password number, you may turn on the transceiver by performing
the "Microprocessor Resetting" procedure (see page 85). However, the FT-2900 will
clear the password, as well as all memories, and will restore all other settings to
factory defaults.
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 60 minutes.
To change the default (6 minutes) time setting:
1.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to
select "53 TOT."
2.
Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired interval
(1/3/5/10 minutes), or OFF.
3.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
Automatic Power-Off (APO)
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 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 0.5/1/3/5/8 hours, 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 when you leave your vehicle.
