4.4 TRANSMIT TIME - OUT TIMER (TOT)
When the PTT switch is held down, transmission time is limited to 5
minutes. This prevents prolonged unintentional transmissions. About 10
seconds before automatic transmitter shutdown, a warning beep is
sounded from the speaker. The transceiver automatically switches to
receiving mode, even if the PTT switch is held down. Before transmitting
again, the PTT switch must first be released and pressed again. This time-
out timer (TOT) prevents a continuous transmission that would result from
an accidentally stuck PTT switch.
