Note:

If you press [PTT] while the VOX function is ON, the VOX Delay Time is not reflected to

the transmitted signal.

If you press [PF] (if 1750 Hz is programmed) to transmit a 1750 Hz tone, the VOX Delay

Time is not reflected.

If the DCS function is ON, the transceiver remains in Transmit mode for the duration set

by the VOX Delay Time. It then sends a Turn-Off Code to close the receiving party’s
squelch.

TIME-OUT TIMER

The Time-out Timer limits the duration you transmit. Just before the transceiver
stops the transmitting, a warning beep sounds. This function is necessary to protect
the transceiver from thermal damage and can therefore not be turned OFF.

3 Press [MENU] or [PTT] to exit Menu mode.

Note: A warning beep sounds even if you set Menu No. 2 (BEEP) to OFF.

BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT

somebody else is currently using. When turned ON, an error beep sounds and you
cannot transmit even if you press [PTT].
