n Mute hang Time
When using Speaker Mute, you may want to adjust the time interval between
when you receive a signal and when the speaker is muted.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 107 (MUT.HNG) {page 20}.
2 Set the hang time to 125, 250, 500, 750, or 1000 ms.
SELECTING AN OUTPUT POWER
It is a good idea to select lower transmit power if communications is still reliable.
This lowers the risk of interfering with others on the band. When operating from
battery power, you will enjoy more operating time before a recharge is necessary.
Press
[LOW] to select high (H) (K, E types only), medium (M), or low (L) power. .
• You can program different power settings for bands A and B.
Note: When the transceiver overheats because of ambient high temperature or
continuous transmission, the protective circuit may function to lower transmit
output power.
TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
It is sometimes necessary or desirable to restrict a single transmission to a
specific maximum time. You may use this function to prevent repeater time-outs
when accessing repeaters, or to conserve battery power.
When TOT times out (default is 10 minutes), the transceiver generates beeps and
automatically returns to receive mode. To resume transmitting, release and then
press the microphone [PTT] again.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 109 (TOT) {page 20}.
2 Set the timer to 3, 5, or 10 minutes.
