OTHER TRANSCEIVER FUNCTIONS
The following functions can be set up by your dealer.
■Time-out Timer (TOT)
The TOT is used to automatically inhibit transmission after a specified time
elapses. If the PTT switch is held down for longer than the programmed time,
the transceiver will stop transmitting and a warning tone will sound. To stop
the warning tone, release the PTT switch.
■Busy Channel Lockout (BCL)
BCL prevents you from interfering with other stations that may be using the
same channel as you. When you press the PTT switch while the channel is in
use, a warning tone sounds and the transceiver does not transmit. To stop
the warning tone, release the PTT switch.
If BCL override has been enabled, you can press the PTT switch again within
0.5 seconds to cancel BCL. The transceiver will transmit.
■Operator Selectable Priority Channel
You can set Priority1 and Priority2 channels when this function is enabled. To
set a Priority1 channel, press and hold the SCN key, then press the MON key
3 times. To set a Priority2 channel, press and hold the SCN key, then press
the MON key 2 times.
■2-Tone/ DTMF Signaling
2-Tone/ DTMF signaling will only open the squelch when the proper code is
received. When the transceiver receives a correct code, the CALL icon
flashes.
If transpond has been enabled, the transceiver automatically sends an
acknowledgement signal after receiving the 2-Tone/ DTMF signal.
If alert tone has been enabled, an alert tone sounds after receiving the
2-Tone/ DTMF signal.
