The APO feature helps conserve battery life by automatically turning the radio off when
there has been no dial or key activity for a user-defined period. The available selections for
the time before power-off are 0.5 - 12 hours (0.5 hour/step), as well as APO Off. The
default condition of the APO is OFF. This is the procedure to activate it:
1. Press and hold in the [ TXPO ] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 4: APO.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL
knob.
3. Press the [ TXPO ] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired time period after which
the radio will automatically shut down.
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
When the APO is activated, the " " icon will appear at the center
bottom on the LCD. If there is no action by you within the time inter-
val programmed, a ringer sounds 3 minutes before the APO shut-
down time. Three minutes thereafter, the microprocessor will shut
down the radio automatically.
Just press and hold in the POWER switch for one second to turn the transceiver back on
after an APO shutdown, as usual.
