TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)

It is sometimes necessary or desirable to restrict a single transmission to a specific maximum time. This feature can be useful when accessing repeaters to prevent repeater time-outs, or when trying 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.

You can change the default TOT time (10 minutes).

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.

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