TIME-OUT TIMER

When you communicate using repeaters, keep your transmis- sions as brief as possible. Most repeaters have built-in timers that limit single transmissions to 3 minutes or less. You can set the transceiver to stop transmitting and sound a beep if you exceed a set time limit with a single transmission.

Use the Main Menu (see “Using the HTX-400’s Menus” on Page

16)to set a value for the time-out timer. With tot and the current setting displayed, press or to choose a value from 0 to 990 seconds.
