5 OTHER FUNCTIONS

‘Monitor audible function

The monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s squelch manually to check whether a channel is busy or not. The trans- ceiver has 2 conditions for receive standby:

All signals are received

Only signals con- taining the proper tone are received

•Audible condition:

This condition mutes audio ONLY when no carrier is present. You can receive (or monitor) any signals on a channel.

•Push and hold the [MONI] switch to can-

cel the CTCSS or DTCS tone squelch function.

Any audio mute functions are cancelled while pushing the [MONI] switch.

•Inaudible condition: This condition mutes ALL signals except those directed to you. Therefore you should check a channel’s condition (busy or not) with the monitor function before transmitting.

•Push the [MONI] switch momentarily to select the inaudible condition.

‘Time-Out Timer

The transceiver has time-out timer function. This function prevents continuous, extend transmissions. This timer automatically turns a transmission OFF 3 min. after it starts.

A warning beep emits 10 sec. before the limit is reached.

The end beep emits 5 times to announce the end of the transmis- sion.
