OTHER TRANSCEIVER FUNCTIONS
The following functions can be set up by your dealer.
■ Time-out Timer (TOT)
The TOT is used to automatically inhibit transmission after a specified time
elapses. If the PTT switch is held down for longer than the programmed time,
the transceiver will stop transmitting and a warning tone will sound. To stop
the warning tone, release the PTT switch.
■ Busy Channel Lockout (BCL)
BCL prevents you from interfering with other stations that may be using the
same channel as you. When you press the PTT switch while the channel is in
use, a warning tone sounds and the transceiver does not transmit. To stop
the warning tone, release the PTT switch.
If BCL override has been enabled, you can press the PTT switch again within
0.5 seconds to cancel BCL. The transceiver will transmit.
■ Operator Selectable Priority Channel
You can set Priority1 and Priority2 channels when this function is enabled. To
set a Priority1 channel, press and hold the SCN key, then press the MON key
3 times. To set a Priority2 channel, press and hold the SCN key, then press
the MON key 2 times.
■ 2-Tone/ DTMF Signaling
2-Tone/ DTMF signaling will only open the squelch when the proper code is
received. When the transceiver receives a correct code, the CALL icon
flashes.
If transpond has been enabled, the transceiver automatically sends an
acknowledgement signal after receiving the 2-Tone/ DTMF signal.
If alert tone has been enabled, an alert tone sounds after receiving the
2-Tone/ DTMF signal.

■ Roll Over/ Dead End
If roll over is enabled and you are pressing the GRP Up/ Down keys, or
rotating the CH control, when you reach the maximum or minimum number,
the number will roll over to the minimum or maximum number. For example,
when turning the CH control clockwise, the channel number increases.
When it reaches its maximum value, it rolls over to its minimum value and
then starts to increase again.
If dead end is selected, when you reach the maximum or minimum value, the
value will not change. For example, when turning the CH control clockwise,
the channel number increases. When it reaches its maximum value, it stops.
You must then rotate the CH control counterclockwise to change the value.
■ Dead Beat Disable (DBD)
After receiving a DBD code, the transceiver will automatically send an
acknowledgement signal. Transmission is disabled. If the radio receives a
DBD reset code, the transceiver will automatically send an acknowledgement
signal. Transmission is enabled.
■ Timed Power OFF
This function requires an ignition-sense which must be connected to the 9 pin
connector on the rear panel of the transceiver. When you turn the ignition of
your vehicle OFF, the timer starts. After the pre-selected time expires, the
transceiver will turn OFF. The timer resets when the ignition is turned ON and
OFF.
