VX-2200 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL6

Automatic Time-Out Timer

If the selected channel has been programmed for automatic time-out, you must limit
the length of each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound 10 seconds
before time-out. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the red “TX
indicator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume trans-
mitting, you must release the PTT switch and wait for the “penalty timer” to expire
(if you press the PTT switch before this timer expires, the timer restarts, and you will
have to wait another “penalty” period)
