Vertex Standard FTM-10R manual Automatic POWER-OFF APO, Audio Pitch Control

MISCELLANEOUS SETTING

AUTOMATIC POWER-OFF (APO)

The “Automatic Power-Off” (APO) feature will turn the radio completely off after a user- defined period of PTT or key/button inactivity. If you do not press any front panel keys or buttons, rotate the DIAL knob, use the microphone’s keys and buttons, or transmit, and so long as the transceiver is not scanning or engaged in priority monitoring, the radio will shut itself off after the specified time period.

The FTM-10Rcan operate the Automatic Power-Off feature through the Clock/Timer func- tion.

The available selections for the time before power-off are 0.5 - 12.0 hours (0.5 hour incre- ments), as well as APO Off. This feature is useful in minimizing battery drain in a mobile installation if you forget to turn the transceiver off when you leave your vehicle.

To activate the APO feature:

1.Press the [VOL/SEL] key repeatedly to display the Clock, Stop Watch Timer, or Ther- mometer.

2.Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second.

3.Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “T8 APO”.

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

5.Rotate the DIAL knob to select desired time, after which the radio will automatically shut down. Available selections are 0.5 to 12.0 hours (0.5 hour increments), or Off.

6.Press the [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to Clock/Timer mode.

If there is no action by you within the time interval programmed, a ringer sounds 3 minutes before the APO shutdown time. Three minutes thereafter, the microprocessor will shut down the radio automatically.

AUDIO PITCH CONTROL

The FTM-10Rincludes a feature that lets you choose six special receiver audio responses to allow the most comfortable and effective reception in noisy environments. The effect is similar to that provided by a “Tone Control” in a stereo.

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 “F3 AF PITCH”.

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

4.Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired receiver audio response. Available selections are LOW-3, LOW-2, LOW-1, NORMAL, HIGH-1, and HIGH-2.

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