P When using the optional BH-1Bluetooth Headset with the FEP-4Ear Phone or an after- market stereo speaker, you may enjoy stereo listening from the FM Stereo Broadcast Station or External Audio Input via the Menu Item “F42 STEREO”. See page 87 for details.

P You may adjust the receiver audio responses via the Menu Item “F3 AF PITCH”. See page 85 for details.

P You may set the Automatic Audio Volume Controller to allow the most comfortable and/or effective reception in noisy environments via the Menu Item “F1 AF AUTO”. See page 56 for details.

P You may set the Volume Setting Alert feature via the Menu Item “F4 AF PRESET”. See page 86 for details.

Note: When receiving AM Broadcast stations, the receive sensitivity may be poor when using an antenna designed with a matching system that is a low DC impedance be- tween the center and shield of the coax. For better AM reception, use an antenna that does not present a low DC resistance to ground.

TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)

The FTM-10Rhas the “Time-Out Timer” (TOT) feature that is designed to force the trans- ceiver into the “receive” mode after a preset time of continuous transmission (the default is “OFF”). This feature prevents your transceiver from transmitting a “dead carrier” for a long time if the microphone PTT switch is accidentally locked in the “TX” condition. The Time-Out Timer “switch-to-receive” time may be adjusted from 1 to 30 minutes, or Off via Menu Item.

1.Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second to activate the Menu mode.

2.Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “F43 TOT”.

3.Press the key to enable selection of this Menu Item.

4.Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired interval. Available selections are 1 to 30 minutes, or Off.

5.Press [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

When your transmission time is within 10 seconds of the Time-Out Timer expiration, an alert bell will provide an audible warning from the speaker.
