OTHER OP-6

AUTOMATIC POWER OFF (APO)

Automatic Power Off is a background function that monitors
whether or not any operations have been performed (keys
pressed, Tuning control turned, etc.), and turns the transceiver
power OFF if it has not been in use.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 917 (APO).
2 Set the APO time limit to 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes, or
OFF.
• After the time limit passes with no operations (default is OFF),
APO turns the transceiver power OFF. However, 1 minute before
the power turns OFF, “APO” appears on the display and blinks,
and a warning tone sounds.
Note: If any settings are changed during while APO is ON, the timer resets.
When you stop changing the settings, the timer begins counting again from 0.
