BACKGROUND OPERATIONS

Your dealer can activate a variety of transceiver functions to perform without any additional operation on your part.

TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)

The Time-out Timer is used to prevent any caller from using a channel for an extended period of time.

If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the microphone PTT switch. Your dealer can program the TOT time in the range of 15 seconds to 20 minutes.

If programmed by your dealer, a pre-alert tone will sound before the timer expires. Also, if programmed by your dealer, you may have to wait for a short duration before you can continue to transmit. If you press the microphone PTT switch before the timer has been reset, an alert tone will sound and the transceiver will not enter transmit mode.

COMPANDER

The compander is programmed only for specific (analog) channels. If it has been programmed by your dealer, transmitted signals are compressed before being sent and received signals are expanded when they arrive.

•Your dealer must set the compander for both the transmit side and the receive side in order for the compander to operate.

This background feature allows higher clarity of signals, avoiding excessive noise and interference. This feature is not used on digital channels, as they are not susceptible to noise and interference.

PTT ID

PTT ID is a unique transceiver ID code which is sent each time the microphone PTT switch is pressed.

Note: PTT ID can be made only in FM Operation.

If Beginning of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press the microphone PTT switch.

If End of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you release the microphone PTT switch.

If both are set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press and release the microphone PTT switch.
