The front panel transmit/busy indicator (see page 11) Display backlight

The stealth mode can be selected by the STEALTH menu parameter (see page 33), or is fixed in the on or off mode by programming. There is no special indication that this mode is selected except that “On” is displayed under “STEALTH” when it is selected by the menu mode.

Time-Out Timer

The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is keyed contin- uously for longer than the programmed time. It can be programmed for 0.5 - 5.0 minutes or disabled entirely. If the transmitter is keyed continuously for longer than the programmed time, the transmitter is disabled, “TIMEOUT” is indicated on the lower line of the display, and the intercept tone sounds. The timer and tone are reset by releasing the PTT switch.

One use of the time-out timer feature is to prevent a repeater from being kept busy for an extended period by an accidentally keyed transmitter. It can also prevent possible damage to the trans- mitter caused by transmitting for an excessively long period.

Tone Select

If the TONES menu parameter is selectable, the tones that sound can be selected. Otherwise, the tones that sound are fixed by programming. The following choices are available. Refer to page 33 for more information on using the menu mode.
