4-key versions). Release the PTT switch and wait
for the channel to be clear of activity.

received or when the carrier being received in-
cludes the correct CTCSS tone or DCS code.

Automatic Time-Out Timer

If the selected channel has been programmed for au-
tomatic time-out, you must limit the length of each
transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound
10 seconds before time-out. Another beep will sound
just before the deadline; the "TX" indicator will dis-
appear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To
resume transmitting, you must release the PTT switch
and wait for the "Penalty timer" to expire.
