The purpose of the Time-out Timer is 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 set by your dealer (default is minute),
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
seconds to 20 minutes.

(Bcl)
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other
parties who may be using the same channel that you selected.
Pressing the PTT switch while the channel is in use will cause
your transceiver to emit an alert tone and transmission will be
inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT switch to stop
the tone and return to receive mode.
