transmitter power for short range communications will conserve battery power
and can increase battery life quite dramatically.

Time-Out Timer
The CP30 has a built-in time-out timer that automatically limits transmissions to
a maximum of 3 minutes of continuous operation. This feature is required by the
ACMA to prevent accidental blocking of a frequency, should your PTT key become
jammed or be otherwise pressed accidentally.
When the time-out timer activates, the transmission will stop, the radio will emit
a long beep, and TXTIMEOUT will be displayed. Once the PTT key has been
released normal operation will be restored.
