The Time-out Timer can be activated only on Conventional
channels. It is used to prevent any caller from using a channel
for an extended period of time.
If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds
the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting
and an alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT
switch. Your dealer can program the TOT time in the range of
5 seconds to 20 minutes.
If programmed by your dealer, a pre-alert tone will sound
before the timer expires. Also, if programmed by your dealer,
you may have to wait for a short duration before you can
continue to transmit. If you press the PTT switch before
the timer has been reset, an alert tone will sound and the
transceiver will not enter transmit mode.

The Battery Saver function can be activated only on
Conventional channels. When activated, this function
decreases the amount of power used when a signal is not
being received and no operations are being performed (no
keys are being pressed and no switches are being turned).
While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed for
5 seconds, Battery Saver activates. When a signal is received
or an operation is performed, Battery Saver is disabled.
