Kenwood TM-D700A, TM-D700E instruction manual TIME-OUT Timer TOT, Automatic Power OFF APO

TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)

It is sometimes necessary or desirable to restrict a single transmission to a specific maximum time. You may use this function to prevent repeater time-outs when accessing repeaters, or to conserve battery power.

When TOT times out, the transceiver generates beeps and automatically returns to receive mode. To resume transmitting, release and then press Mic [PTT] again.

Access Menu 1–9–4 (TOT) and select 3, 5, or 10 (default) minutes for the TOT time.

AUTOMATIC POWER OFF (APO)

Automatic Power Off is a background function that monitors whether any buttons or keys have been pressed, or whether the Tuning control has been turned. After 3 hours pass with no operations, APO turns OFF the power. However, 1 minute before the power turns OFF, “APO” appears and blinks, and a series of warning tones sound.

Access Menu 1–9–3 (APO) and select “ON”.

Note: If any settings are changed during the 3 hour period while APO is ON, the timer resets. When you stop changing the settings, the timer begins counting again from 0.
